French Bread French Toast Recipes

Steps:

• In medium size mixing bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, eggs, honey, and salt. You may do this the night before. When ready to cook, pour custard mixture into a pie pan and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Dip bread into mixture, allow to soak for 30 seconds on each side, and then remove to a cooling rack that is sitting in a sheet pan, and allow to sit for 1 to 2 minutes.
• Over medium-low heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a 10-inch nonstick saute pan. Place 2 slices of bread at a time into the pan and cook until golden brown, approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from pan and place on rack in oven for 5 minutes. Repeat with all 8 slices. Serve immediately with maple syrup, whipped cream or fruit.

Steps:

• In a shallow dish, whisk together the first 7 ingredients. Preheat a greased griddle over medium heat., Dip bread in egg mixture, letting it soak 5 seconds on each side. Cook on griddle until golden brown on both sides. Serve with toppings as desired.

Steps:

• Cut 12 (1-inch-thick) diagonal slices from bread, reserving ends for another use.
• Generously butter 1 side of each slice and arrange slices, buttered sides up, in 1 layer in a buttered 13- by 9- by 2-inch glass baking dish, squeezing them slightly to fit if necessary.
• Whisk together eggs, milk, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until combined well, then pour evenly over bread. Chill, covered, until bread has absorbed all of custard, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day, depending on bread.
• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Bring mixture to room temperature and sprinkle bread with sugar.
• Bake, uncovered, in middle of oven until bread is puffed and top is golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a bowl or shallow dish that will fit the bread, beat the egg, milk and a pinch of salt with a fork until very smooth and bubbly on top.
• Add both bread slices (it's OK to stack them if they don't quite fit) and soak them, turning a few times, until the mixture is fully absorbed.
• Set a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and swirl it around the pan until it melts. The soaked bread will be really soft, so carefully pick up each slice by sliding your whole hand under it, then setting it in the pan. Cook until the bottoms are golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip the slices, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the other sides are brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Enjoy hot, with more butter spread over the slices and with your favorite toppings.

Steps:

• Slice bread and cut off and discard crusts. Beat milk, eggs, and vanilla together in a bowl until well combined.
• Stir melted butter and brown sugar together until well mixed. Pour into the bottom of a 9x13-inch pan; spread evenly. Layer bread slices over top. Pour milk mixture evenly over bread. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Cover with aluminum foil and chill in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
• When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake, covered, for 30 minutes. Remove cover and continue to bake until golden brown and bubbly, about 15 more minutes.
• Remove from the oven and sprinkle with powdered sugar and cinnamon before serving.

Steps:

• In large bowl, combine all french toast ingredients except the bread and beat until smooth.
• Spray large nonstick skillet or griddle with nonstick cooking spray.
• Heat over medium high heat until hot.
• Dip each slice of bread in egg mixture and add to skillet.
• Cook 2 to 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
• Top each serving with banana slices and pecans and drizzle with syrup.

Steps:

• Beat the eggs with the sugar until thick.
• Add the salt, milk, heavy cream and nutmeg.
• Mix well and strain through a fine mesh strainer into a shallow dish.
• Meanwhile, heat marmalade over low heat until liquefied. Keep warm while you prepare the French toast.
• Dip slices of bread in the mixture, turning to coat both sides.
• Cook on a hot buttered griddle or frying pan over medium heat until golden brown on both sides. Turn carefully with a pancake turner.
• Serve with marmalade and powdered sugar or your favorite pure maple syrup.

Steps:

• Cut bread into 1-in.-thick slices. Arrange in a single layer in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Lightly beat next 6 ingredients; stir in milk and cream. Pour egg mixture over bread, turning once to coat. Refrigerate, covered, overnight., Preheat oven to 375°. Turn bread again to coat. For topping, combine flour, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon and, if desired, nutmeg. Sprinkle flour mixture over bread., Bake, uncovered, until a knife inserted in center comes out clean and topping is golden brown, 40-45 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting. Top with blueberries or raspberries; sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.
