Description

French toast, also known as eggy bread, is a dish of bread soaked in eggs then fried. When french toast is served sweet milk, sugar, or cinnamon are also commonly added before frying, and then it may be topped with sugar, butter, fruit, syrup, or other items. When made as savory dish, it is generally fried with a pinch of salt, and then served with a sauce such as ketchup or mayonnaise.

Stuffed french toast is a sandwich of two pieces of french toast filled with bananas, strawberries, or other fruit. It is usually topped with butter, maple syrup, and powdered sugar.

Note

1)One day old bread is often recommended by chefs because stale bread will soak up more egg mixture without falling apart.
2) Soak bread only just before frying or it will turn too soggy & crumble.

Method

1) Put the eggs, milk,orange juice,orange zest, caster sugar and cinnamon powder in a mixing bowl and whisk together with a hand blender or a whisk for a minute. Set aside.
2) Dip the bread slices in the egg custard one at a time until the slices are fully soaked on both sides.
3) Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat . Add a spoon of butter and swirl evenly over the pan. Do not let it burn. Now place a soaked slice of bread in the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, till light brown, before turning the slice over and cooking on the other side . 4) Carefully remove the french toast from the pan using a spatula and place it on a plate. 5) Repeat this procedure with the remaining butter and soaked bread slices.
6) Dust with icing sugar before serving.
