Mom’s French Toast Recipe

It’s quite something that a common recipe such as French Toast would have such special attachments to many folks. This is one of those recipes that is very dear to me with so many childhood memories as well. When we lived in Ukraine, my mom made these out of white bread, and here in the US, with homemade French Bread and home-raised eggs. Making these for my own kids brings me back to a very early age in my childhood and reminds me of those sweet carefree days. As common as the recipe is, I passed on this particular ingredient combo to my kids and they love it better than most.

This is a kind of breakfast…

…we shouldn’t indulge in every day as they are pretty sweet. Every once in a while, especially when loaded with fruit and considered as our “something healthy,” it’s ok, right? ? Homemade French Bread slices dipped in a tasty combination of home-raised eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla mixture, sautéed in butter make them taste so scrumptious, pillow soft, that melt in your mouth in a sweet delight. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

4 – Large eggs
¼ cup (50 g) – ½ cup (100 g) – organic sugar (depending on the sweetness level you prefer)
1/8 tsp. (0.6 g) – sea salt
½ tsp. (2.5 ml) – pure vanilla extract
1 loaf of French Bread (of your choice)
Unsalted butter for sautéing
Organic maple syrup or raw honey (optional)
Fresh fruit for topping (optional)

Instructions:

1. Slice a loaf of French Bread into thick slices.

2. Beat eggs, sugar, sea salt, and pure vanilla extract with a hand whisker until well combined and sugar dissolved.

3. Heat a medium-size frying pan to low/med. Add ¼ tsp. (0.6 g) butter. Dip each side of a bread slice into the egg mixture and place it in the center of the heated pan. Sauté for about a minute per side. Repeat these steps with each slice of bread. (Tip: For a faster process use a larger pan, ½ tbsp. (2.5 g) butter and fry 3 toasts at a time.)

4. Remove from the pan and onto a serving platter. Adorn with fresh fruit, and drizzle organic maple syrup or raw honey for an irresistible morning greeting!
