French Toast!

It has been years since I have had french toast, and I think the last time I had it was in high school at Burger King.... I know pretty low standards for french toast. Today I thought I would try my main man Alton Browns recipe. I didn't use half and half just my lactose free milk. I thought that the toast was a little flat in flavor, but the texture was great. I might try to put some vanilla and cinnamon in the batter, and I may also swap the honey for maple syrup. Because we all know that I am gonna put the syrup on top of it anyway, so it can only add to the final flavor.

I would defiantly recommend this recipe to all of the 3 ppl who follow my blog. <3

Ingredients

• 1 cup half-and-half
• 3 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons honey, warmed in microwave for 20 seconds
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 8 (1/2-inch) slices day-old or stale country loaf, brioche or challah bread
• 4 tablespoons butter

Directions

In medium size mixing bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, eggs, honey, and salt. You may do this the night before. When ready to cook, pour custard mixture into a pie pan and set aside.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Dip bread into mixture, allow to soak for 30 seconds on each side, and then remove to a cooling rack that is sitting in a sheet pan, and allow to sit for 1 to 2 minutes.

Over medium-low heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a 10-inch nonstick saute pan. Place 2 slices of bread at a time into the pan and cook until golden brown, approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from pan and place on rack in oven for 5 minutes. Repeat with all 8 slices. Serve immediately with maple syrup, whipped cream or fruit.
