FRENCH TOAST: PAIN PERDU

www.lechefswife.com

One of our absolute favorites is French Toast. Perfect for a decadent weekend brunch but also fun for a Tuesday when you are trying to stretch out meal time as long as possible. I love this recipe because it is high in protein and does not use sugar.

4 eggs ½ cup of 2% milk ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (if happen to have fresh vanilla bean, use half a pod in this recipe) Pinch of salt 2 tablespoons butter 20 slices of baguette, sliced ½ inch thick or 8-12 slices of country bread.

Ingredients

STEP 1

Beat the eggs together in a large bowl with a whisk. Add the milk and the vanilla extract. Mix again (toddlers love mixing!). Set aside.

STEP 2

Heat a non-stick pan on medium low. Add a pat of butter to fully coat pan. Add battered slices of bread several at a time. Allow to become golden brown (about a minute) then flip and brown on the reverse side.

STEP 3

Remove cooked slices of bread from pan and set aside on a cookie sheet. (I suggest placing the cookie sheet in the oven on the lowest possible heat to keep warm).

STEP 4

Continue this process until all the bread and batter are used up, adding a fresh pat of butter in the pan between each batch of battered bread. Careful to never let the pan get too hot – you don’t want the butter to burn.
