Restaurant-Style French Toast Recipe

Anyone who has attempted to recreate the quality of french toast that you find at the town’s popular brunch restaurant at home can attest that it can be tricky to replicate, yet the following high-quality, delicious recipe from the popular food blog Let’s Delish Recipes certainly comes closest to whipping up a restaurant-caliber breakfast in your own kitchen.

Even when supplied with the best intentions, sometimes fate intervenes and you’re left with a disappointing breakfast entree in the form of the less-than-ideal plate of soggy french toast. One of the best ways to prevent this from happening is to pay attention to what type of bread you’re using. The best results can come from utilizing the thickness of bread like French bread, Challah bread, or at least any type of bread that is sliced at least 1-inch thick. This makes all the difference, so be sure to spend the extra time deciding at the grocery store.

One of the best parts of the following recipe is that all of the french toast will be ready at the same time, meaning that there isn’t the annoying tradition of the chef standing at the oven’s skillet with the next piece while the rest of the family enjoys their meal. This is thanks to the method of placing your French toast onto a baking sheet and popping it in the oven for about 15 minutes before serving. With this method, you’ll ensure that each piece will come out crispy every time.

Everyone has an opinion when it comes to what toppings, garnishes, and fixings are best atop a slice of french toast, but the most popular choices have to be maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, and powdered sugar. Try and have a combination of all four to see which flavors are accentuated by which topping.

Ingredients

  • 2 fresh eggs
  • ½ cup of milk
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon of cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon of nutmeg
  • A pinch of salt
  • 6 slices of French bread or Texas Toast, each 1 inch thick
  • 1-2 tablespoons of butter

Recipe

  1. Begin your breakfast of champions by preheating your oven to 400°F. While you’re waiting for it to reach 400°F, you’ll want to take out your cooking instruments and cookware.
  2. In a large skillet, melt your 1-2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Then, in a large, shallow bowl or pie plate, whisk together your eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. At the same time, prepare your slices of 1-inch thick bread nearby.
  3. One at a time, place your bread slices into the egg mixture and ensure that you coat each piece fully on both sides. Be sure to turn each piece of bread in the mixture and let it stand for a few seconds so that each side is coated well.
  4. You’ll cook the french toast in batches to ensure good individual quality. Working in batches, brown the bread slices in your skillet of butter for 2-3 minutes per side. Hold each side until it’s golden brown, and then transfer the bread to a large baking sheet when finished. Depending on how many people you’re serving, you’ll want to keep a clean skillet and steady procedure for browning the individual slices of bread, so pay attention to the individual browning times.
  5. After each piece of bread has been browned on both sides and transferred to the baking sheet, place the sheet tray into the 400°F oven and bake the batch until the bread pieces are crispy and slightly puffed. This should take about 12-15 minutes.
  6. The method in which you serve and garnish your french toast is up to you, but try to keep the serving size to a moderate amount. Many prefer slices of fresh fruit or maple syrup with their french toast pieces, as the texture of the toast compliments the sweetness of the toppings and garnishes excellently.

  • 1 teaspoon of paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon of black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon of salt

UTENSILS

INSTRUCTIONS

The first step to this great breakfast skillet is to place the large skillet on the stove and turn the heat up to medium. Add the chorizo, the red and yellow peppers, and onion. Cook these ingredients for 4 to 6 minutes, making sure the chorizo is fully cooked. You want to make sure that it is broken into pieces/crumbles once it is fully cooked. This will make the chorizo easier to distribute throughout the mixture. The next step is to actually strain the ingredients in the skillet. There will be excess grease, so make sure to get rid of it before adding the next set of ingredients.

The third step is to add the tomatoes, zucchini, and garlic or your choice of veggies. Mix all of the ingredients together in the skillet. Add the 1 teaspoon of paprika, stirring once again to make sure everything is distributed evenly. You should then cover the skillet and cook everything for 5 to 7 minutes, it could take longer. Make sure to check and see if the vegetables are tender to know if they are cooked enough.

The last cooking step is to take the spoon and make wells in the mixture. Four wells to be exact. Once the wells are made, take an egg and break it into each well. This is where the salt and pepper should be added. Feel free to add any other seasoning you desire. Cover the skillet again and cook the eggs for 4 to 6 minutes. You want the eggs whites to set completely, but the yolks should just be thick. They should not be hard.

Remove the breakfast skillet from the heat. Take the ½ cup of cheddar cheese and sprinkle it on top of the skillet. Cover the skillet again so the cheese will melt.

Cooking tips:

Buy tortillas to use to make breakfast wraps. It makes it an easy to-go breakfast and you can prepare them in advance.

You can substitute the chorizo for regular breakfast sausage if spicy food isn’t your favorite in a breakfast skillet.

Make for dinner and serve with biscuits. Use the biscuits to get every last bite.
