French Toast

Making French Toast
STOVETOP OR OVEN: Iron Chefs learned about egg chemistry by making French Toast at the JW Teaching Kitchens.

Yield: 8 slices

Ingredients:

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 slices bread
  • 4 Tablespoons butter
  • maple syrup, fresh berries, or powdered sugar for topping

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a skillet, melt a tablespoon of butter over medium heat.

In a shallow container (like a pie plate), combine the cinnamon, sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla. Whisk until combined.

Dip bread into egg mixture. Fry slices until golden brown, then flip to cook the other side. Keep slices warm in the oven while you dip and fry the remaining slices. (Add more butter to the pan as needed.)

Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh berries, and/or powdered sugar.
