French Toast is so delicious and often enjoyed as breakfast and brunch. Actually French Toast is not French food. Its origin is in Ancient Rome where people dip bread into milk and egg mixture to create a dish called Pan Dulcis. The name "French Toast" is named after a man called Joseph French who coined the term in 1724.

The special about this recipe is to dry the bread and coat the bread with panko; it gives perfect French Toast with crispy exterior and soft interior.

For the bread, white sandwich bread, brioche, challah, whole-wheat, french bread all work. Thicker bread (~1") is preferred.

Follow the instructions and learn to make perfect french toast!

Cooking Time: 15mins

Bread: 4 slices (at least 1″ thick)
Egg: 2
Milk or heavy whipping cream: 1/2cup
Sugar: 2tsp
Cinnamon: a pinch (optional)
Panko or breadcrumb: 50g
Butter(unsalted): 40g

instructions

Dry the bread: preheat the oven to 275F. Place the bread slice on a baking wire rack, bake at 275F for 10mins. The other way to dry the bread is to leave the bread on baking wire rack overnight.

Prepare custard mixture: combine 2eggs and 1/2cup milk. Whisk until combined.
Add 2tsp sugar and a pinch of ground cinnamon to above mixture, mix well.

Prepare two flat shallow dish. Pour some custard mixture onto one dish, some panko on the other dish.

Dip each slice of bread into the custard mixture dish, pour more custard mixture onto the bread; then flip the bread to make sure both sides of the bread are well-coated.

Place the bread into the panko dish, gently press the bread to coat panko. Flip the bread to coat both sides with panko.

In a large non-stick skillet, melt 20g unsalted butter. Place two slices bread and cook with medium-low heat for 3-5mins until golden brown, flip and cook the other side.
Repeat the same process for the other two slices bread.

Dish out and serve with honey, syrup or powdered sugar. Garnish with berries, banana or other fresh fruit.
