I've lost my French toast recipe and I'm really wary of all the random internet ones...?

Question

Does anyone have a good french toast recipe? I've had bad experiences with trying out random recipes that I find in the dusty corners of the internet, so I thought I'd ask you nice people on Yahoo! for help.

Answer 1

I mix 2 eggs and a bit of milk...maybe 1/4 cup is all you'll need. Dip bread in egg and fry in melted butter over medium high heat. Flip when brown.

Answer 2

French toast is something that truthfully, is VERY hard to mess up!  :)  I always make mine with Texas Toast (really thick slices of bread):

In a bowl big enough to dip bread:

8 eggs (beat until frothy)

1/4 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (more or less to taste...some people like it really vanilla-y)..you can also sub almond extract...really tasty as well!

Drop a few tbsp of butter into a large skillet over medium heat.  Once melted, Dip your bread into the egg mixture, making sure the whole piece is coated, and put in buttered pan.  make sure to leave enough room in between slices to be able to flip.  Cook until golden brown (about 2 min), and flip.  Another two minutes, and remove from pan.

Dust with powdered (confectionery) sugar, & serve!  (with butter, of course)  :)   You can also try some of these topping ideas:

*maple syrup

*fruit syrup

*hot cooked fruit

*jam

*cinnamon sugar

*brown sugar

Answer 3

1 cup half-and-half

3 large eggs

2 tablespoons honey, warmed in microwave for 20 seconds

1/4 teaspoon salt

8 (1/2-inch) slices day-old or thick bread,,, or a french bread that you can slice to the size you want

4 tablespoons butter

In medium size mixing bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, eggs, honey, and salt. You may do this the night before. When ready to cook, pour custard mixture into a pie pan and set aside.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Dip bread into mixture, allow to soak for 30 seconds on each side, and then remove to a cooling rack that is sitting in a sheet pan, and allow to sit for 1 to 2 minutes.

Over medium-low heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a 10-inch nonstick saute pan. Place 2 slices of bread at a time into the pan and cook until golden brown, approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from pan and place on rack in oven for 5 minutes. Repeat with all 8 slices. Serve immediately with maple syrup

Answer 4

I keep it very simple, 2 eggs, a dash of skim Milk, Nutmeg, dip two slices of white bread, cook it in a lightly buttered skillet on medium heat.

Answer 5

Why do we need bananas? Aside from being a low calorie healthy snack. A medium sized banana costs you about 105 calories. Bananas are an excellent source of potassium, dietary fiber, maganese, and vitamin B6. They are low in sodium, cholesterol, and saturated fat. The only bad thing is that a large portion of calories come from sugar.

Bananas have always been one of my favorite fruits...good for you too! While I think bananas are terrific all by their lonesome, thereare some folks out there that prefer to incorporate them into their diet by adding them to various recipes. Here are some excellent EASY recipes for you to try. Most of the ingredients are ones that you probably have in your pantry already!:



Bananas Foster

This is good over vanilla ice cream or french toast. All you need is:

1/4 cup of butter

2-4 bananas sliced

2/3 cup of brown sugar

1/2 t.cinnamon

1 tbsp. vanilla

3 tbsp. rum-if you like

Melt the butter in a pan or skillet. Add in brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and rum stirring constantly. When hot and bubbly add in banana slices. Cook for 2 minutes and serve.

Oatmeal Banana Bread

Oh so easy, quick, and goood!

You'll need:

2 c. Bisquick

2/3 c. sugar

1 1/2 c. mashed ripe bananas

1 T. vanilla

1/4 c. milk or plain yogurt

oatmeal - quick cooking

2 eggs

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

Grease the bottom of a 9/5/3 loaf pan

For an added kick fold in 1 cup of fresh blueberries if you've got any.

Chiquita Banana

Nana Puddin'

I had never had banana pudding until I moved to Florida, so I guess this is more of a southern recipe, but it is delish! Oh, and so easy!

What you need:

5 oz Jell-O Instant Vanilla Pudding

1/2 a small can of Sweetened Condensed Milk

3 cups of milk - I use 1% but this is an easy recipe so use what you like!

1 tub Cool Whip

1/2 box Nilla Wafers

3 Bananas

8 oz cream cheese(or Neufatchel Cheese) at room temp.

You can make this in any kind of bowl, loaf pan or baking dish you have, but I recommend you choose something with a lid unless you think it will all get gobbled up the first night--a definate possibility!

What you do:

Whip the cream cheese with a whisk or electric mixer until fluffy. Mix in #'s 1, 2, & 3.

Fold in the Cool Whip

Layer the pudding mixture, nilla wafers, and bananas and chill!

Peanut Butter 'n Banana Sandwich

Ok. This has been a diet staple of mine for at least 20 years. All you have to do is spread some peanut butter (I prefer natural organic peanut butter, but regular old Jif will do) on 2 slices of bread. Slice up a banana, and smoosh it in between those two slices. Eat and enjoy!

This is great if you are out of jelly or jam, or are just looking for a little twist on an old sandwich.

This monkey's got the idea!



Chocolate Covered Bananas

You will need a double boiler to make these ones...and:

bananas

popsicle sticks

2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips

2 T. shortening

If you like nuts, you could chopup some roasted peanuts for added flava

Peel 3-4 bananas, cut in half, and stick a popsicle stick in each half. Place on wax paper and freeze.

Once frozen, melt the chocolate chips and shortening in the double boiler. Dip each frozen banana pop into the hot melted chocolate covering completely. If you decided to go with nuts, rollwhile the chocolate isstill wet in nuts.

Return to freezer to harden. These are great to eat frozen.

If you don't like to eat them frozen, skip both freezer steps.

I love to eat bananas, and try to eat at least one a day. I do this for two reasons - one because they are good for you and two because they are a relatively low calorie snack. Your delicious sounding recipes make me think the second part of my "why I love bananas" meme is about to get dropped.

Thanks for the great hub.

Answer 6

Sorry kiddo I buy mine frozen very hard to mess.

Hope it helps
