I’m sure everyone has a good recipe for that…. but mine is better đ don’t you think it’s like the spaghetti sauce recipe? everyone has the best one!
But my recipe for french toasts has a secret ingredient for it that is making a nice crunchy outer layer…
I always make it around this time of the year since my husband always get a loaf of bread from work in march… don’t ask, we don’t even remember why they are getting it đ And since it’s not a really good loaf I always use it to make french toasts, to my kids delight!
First thing, you need to have stale bread. Using fresh bread will make your toasts soggy and slump. Â Since the bread we get is quite dry, i just let it sit unwrapped on the counter for a whole 24 hours. Switching side once in a while to make sure it dries evenly.
Next, you need to slice you bread about 1/2 inches thick. (if your bread is really moist, slice and let stale half a day or a whole day)
And then you make the eggs mix đ
here’s my recipe:
4 eggs
1 to 1 1/2 Â cup milk
a bit of vanilla
and …. a big table spoon of granulated sugar! (that’s my secret ingredient….!)
Whisk everything well in a big bowl.
heat a skillet over medium high with BUTTER! (do yourself a favor, and please use butter!)
when your skillet is ready, working quickly coat your slices of bread with the egg mix, you DO NOT want the bread to suck it up. You  really just want to coat it quick. and just do the right number of slices for your skillet. Do not prepare more bread in the mix if they are not ready to go into the skillet.
let the bread get as golden as you like it and serve with a good maple sirup!!! The sugar will make a nice crunchy outer layer đ
We had ours with a nice side dish of fruit salad Rachel made all by herself!
Ma petite recette de pain dorĂ© đ avec un ingrĂ©dient secret qui vous fait une bel extĂ©rieur croustillant!
PremiĂšrement, vous aurez besoin d’un pain rassis (qui a sĂ©chĂ© quelque temps, pas un pain frais et tout moelleux!)
que vous couperez en tranche de 1/2 pouces.
MĂ©langez ensemble dans un grand bol:
4 oeufs
1 Ă 1 1/2 tasse de lait
un peu d’essence de vanille
et…. une grosse cuillĂšre Ă soupe de sucre granulĂ©! (le sucre va vous donner une bel extĂ©rieur croquant!)
Faites chauffer un poĂȘlon Ă medium-high avec du BEURRE! (ok, laisser faire le rĂ©gime et faites-vous plaisir! utiliser du beurre!)
En travaillant rapidement, trempez vos tranches de pain dans le mĂ©lange d’oeufs, ne les laissez pas se gorger du mĂ©lange, une trempette trĂšs rapide seulement et ajouter Ă votre poĂȘlon. Cuire des 2 cĂŽtĂ©s jusqu’au degrĂ© de dorĂ© souhaitĂ©. Ne prĂ©parez pas d’avance les tranches de pain dans le mĂ©lange, sinon vous aurez des tranches de pain dĂ©trempĂ©es et molles.
Servir avec une bonne dose de sirop d’Ă©rable! et une salade de fruits prĂ©parĂ©e avec amour par une petite fille de 5 ans!
