THE BEST FRENCH TOAST
There's no question that this is the best French toast recipe. The caramelized exterior meets a soft, custardlike center that practically melts in your mouth. Not only that, but it's quick and easy, too! -Audrey Rompon, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

CLASSIC FRENCH TOAST
Here's a recipe for the kind of French toast people line up for outside restaurants on Sunday morning. It's simple: no new ingredients, tools or technology needed. You don't even need stale bread. What you do need is thick-cut white bread, dunked into an egg-milk mixture with extra richness from egg yolks and heavy cream. That gives the French toast a buttery taste and firm but fluffy texture. (Oversoaking is the enemy here; the mixture should fill the bread, not cause it to break.) For an appetizing, lacy brown crust, sprinkle on sugar toward the end of cooking: It will caramelize and turn glossy. Just make sure to keep the heat low after you add the sugar. Otherwise, it could burn quickly over high heat.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200 degrees, and place a wire rack on a sheet pan inside.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs, additional yolks, milk, vanilla (if using) and salt until foamy and smooth. Set aside. Place a small lump of butter (enough to coat the bottom of the skillet when melted) in a large, heavy nonstick skillet over low heat. It will melt very slowly.
- When butter is just melted and bubbling, raise heat and bring to a sizzle. Place 2 slices of bread in the bowl with the egg mixture. Turn them a few times in the mixture until evenly saturated, about 5 seconds on each side. Do not soak.
- Lift a slice out of the egg mixture, gently shake off any excess, and place in the pan. Repeat until the skillet is full, and let the slices cook at a sizzle for about 2 minutes, until just turning golden brown on the bottom.
- Add another small lump of butter to the pan and flip the slices over, swirling the pan so that the fresh butter coats the bottom. (This will allow the second side to brown.)
- Continue cooking over low heat until the second side is golden brown. Dust with cinnamon sugar, flip again, and dust the other side. Test for doneness by pressing the center: The dent should slowly spring back. If it remains, the interior is not yet cooked. Continue cooking at low heat, flipping occasionally, until done. Serve immediately, or transfer to the oven to keep warm while cooking remaining bread. Serve as soon as possible. Top with maple syrup, berries, jam, sliced bananas, orange supremes - whatever you'd like.

HEARTY HOMESTYLE FRENCH TOAST
Traditionally, French Toast was a way to turn bread that was going stale and an insufficient supply of eggs into a hearty, hot breakfast. My Dad's farm-derived recipe isn't sweet in itself. Sweetness comes from the syrup or jam on top. OR you might serve it with sausage gravy or milk gravy made from fried ham for a savory flavor instead. This recipe makes enough for a crowd or it can easily be cut down for a smaller group.

Steps:
- Beat the eggs in a bowl large enough to hold everything -- preferably one with a pouring spout.
- Beat in the milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and sugar.
- Heat a griddle and butter lightly.
- Pour some of the mix into a wide, shallow dish that will hold a slice of bread.
- Dip both sides of a slice of bread into the mix and lay it on the griddle. Fill the griddle.
- Cook slices until nicely browned, flip and brown the other side.
- Repeat with the rest of the bread. Be sure to beat the mix a few strokes before each refilling of the shallow dish. Add extra cinnamon if too much gets stuck to the early slices.
- Serve with a choice of your favorite toppings.
