PERFECT FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Whisk 4 eggs, 1 1/2 cups half-and-half or milk, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon sugar and a pinch of salt in a shallow bowl. Heat 1/2 tablespoon butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, dip 6 thick slices white bread, challah or brioche in the egg mixture and cook in the skillet until golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side, adding more butter as needed. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake until puffed, 8 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, melt 4 tablespoons butter in the same skillet until browned, about 5 minutes. Drizzle the French toast with the browned butter and maple syrup.

RAISIN BREAD FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, vanilla and cinnamon. Transfer the egg mixture to a wide bowl (like a pasta bowl), so you can dip the bread slices.
• Preheat a nonstick skillet on medium to medium-high heat. TIP: To make French toast quick, a square skillet is very handy because it can make 4 slices at once, and the low edges of the pan make it easy to flip.
• Drop a knob of butter on the hot skillet. Working one slice at a time, dip each slice for about 20 seconds, and flip and allow to soak for another 10 seconds.
• Place the egg dipped bread on the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes, until the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook an additional 2 minutes on the other side, until the French toast feels slightly firm to the touch and the bottom is golden brown. Adjust the heat as necessary so the French toast gets cooked through before the outsides burn.
• Serve immediately with maple syrup, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and a dollop of whipped cream.
