how to make french toast

My boyfriend makes fantastic french toast. Super fantastic! I've tried making french toast lots of times, and it never turns out like I want it to, so I made him document french toast with me. :D

So I'll show you how Tyler makes his french toast, but I'll also simplify the ingredients list a bit. He likes getting fancy and using every sugar we have in the house. I basically stood next to him and demanding to know timing and how much of each thing he used all morning. I'm happy he still likes me!

I'll also go over how to make yummy french toast toppings. You can never have too many toppings.

Just be aware this version of french toast is more like a dessert than a breakfast. :D

_{(We also had a food porn face-off and each plated our french toast the way we wanted and photographed it... mine has maple syrup, strawberries and powdered sugar, and his has a cream cheese sauce and strawberries.)}

Step 1: Ingredients:

• 3 eggs
• 1/8-1/4 cup sugar of choice
• 1/2 cup of milk/soy milk
• six slices of hearty bread (we like sourdough)
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• cinnamon to taste - we used about 1/4 tsp

Tyler uses white sugar, brown sugar and powdered sugar in the milk/egg mixture. He mostly used powdered sugar, which is a good idea because it keeps the mixture from being clumpy. :)

For topping:

• macerated strawberries are super yummy! slice the strawberries before you begin the french toast and sprinkle with a few tablespoons of sugar. mix it all together and then let it sit. :)
• Tyler makes a cream cheese topping too - whisk together a bit of cream cheese, a little sugar, some milk and vanilla, and BAM!
• powdered sugar
• maple syrup

I made this today, complete with cream cheese topping and a raspberry/strawberry mix topping. Delicious! Though I need to have a little lie down now ;) I reduced the sugar slightly and it's just as good without toppings too - I made enough to keep in the fridge, as per your advice. This was my first ever attempt at French Toast and I'm really pleased with the results. Thanks for the recipe :)

I was reminded some time ago how similar "French toast" is to "bread pudding"; very similar ingredients, with the main difference being degree of sweetness, and cooking technique.
