Classic French toast
INGREDIENTS (SERVES 2):
½ baguette
20 grams unsalted butter
2 eggs
180 ml milk
50 grams frozen mixed berries
50 ml maple syrup
1 banana
2 tbsp sugar
DIRECTIONS:
1. Add the eggs and sugar into a bowl and beat until completely mixed. Then add milk and stir. Pour the mixture into a resealable bag.
2. Slice the baguette into 3-centimeter-thick slices and place into the bag. Seal the bag, gently move the bread around to allow the egg mixture to soak in, then let sit for five minutes. If the baguette is quite hard, let it sit for about an hour.
3. Heat butter in a frying pan, then take out the bread from the bag and place it on the pan. Set it to low heat and brown both sides of the bread. 4. After plating, top it off with 2-centimeter-thick slices of banana, frozen mixed berries and maple syrup.
French toast is quite thick and lling, and it goes great with the fruit topping. Adding sweet vegetable juice or carrot juice also complements the avor of the French toast.
The vegetable juice French toast was made using plain sliced bread. Two slices from a five-slice loaf is suitable for the recipe.
