Should French toast have more eggs or milk?

Whatever you decide on, the ratio of liquid to egg will still be about ¼ cup liquid to one egg, and one egg per two slices of bread . So, if you want to make four slices of French toast, you would need four slices of bread, two eggs, and ½ cup milk. How's that for an easy recipe?

Heavy Cream- use heavy cream for an extra decadent French toast . You can also use half milk and half heavy cream. Almond Milk-unsweetened vanilla almond milk makes great French toast. I love the extra vanilla flavor.

The first is using fresh bread, which soaks up too much of the egg mixture and doesn't cook through, remaining eggy and soggy in the middle . Leaving the bread in the egg mixture for too long is another route to soggy French toast.

Should you toast your bread before making French toast?

Use stale bread or toast the bread until it's golden-brown . It needs to be sturdy to hold up to the egg mixture. If the bread is fresh from the bag or you toast it too lightly, the finished dish will be soggy. Soak the toasted or untoasted bread for about 10 seconds per side to achieve the optimal texture.

This was delicious! I made it for my family for a christmas morning treat. I used italian loaf and didn't use all of it. Maybe 3/4's. next time for 4-5 people I will half the recipe. Thanks for posting!

This is a great way to serve up breakfast! I, too, used a dark bread (actually a nutty, multi-grain bread), & it went extremely well with the apples & cranberries! I'll certainly be making this another time, possibly with some other dried fruits! Thanks for sharing a great recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed for the Summer Salad & Berry Recipe Challange]

Deeeliciooousss! I used homemade whole wheat bread, (partly because that's what I had, and partly to justify having this for dinner!) and made a single serving with two thick-cut slices, baked for the same amount of time. Turned out great, thanks for the recipe! I wonder if other fruits will work this well....

Very good. I added pecans along with the apples and cranberrys, and a little brown sugar and cinnamon on top.
