French Toast | Byron Talbott

What is going on everybody? Today I'm going to show you a very simple french toast recipe. I've had a lot of requests for this in my past videos in the comment sections. A lot of you thumbsed it up and so I figured you know what why not show you my take on french toast. Obviously I always like to do my own spin on things, classic recipes, my own recipes, and my spin on this is I'm using a sourdough bread as opposed to sort of like a brioche or cakier white bread. Sourdough tends to be a little bit more dense which yields a really crispy nice crust on it. So that's what I really love about french toast is getting that really you know crispy and trying to stay away from getting really egg soaked bread. So really with all that said let's just get in the kitchen start making this french toast and hope you guys enjoy. So I'm going to start the recipe off by making the batter that you're going to soak the toast in before you fry it. The bulk of this is usually just eggs but I like to incorporate milk just so it doesn't have such an eggy flavor. Also this is a good time to incorporate flavor so I'm going to add a little bit of brown sugar, a pinch of salt, and ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Just make sure you whisk this mixture very well so all the spices and flavorings are incorporated evenly. Here I'm just going to cut my bread about an eighth of an inch thick and this is some sourdough that I just picked up from the market. So just put about a tablespoon of butter into a low to medium heated pan. Start soaking your toast and layering them in the pan and you're going to cook this for about two to three minutes on each side. So once your french toast is beautifully golden brown and crispy take them out of the pan and blot any excess fat off on a dry towel just so it doesn't get soggy. Now all you have to do is just transfer the toast onto a plate make it beautiful and top them with any of your favorite things that you love. Here it's just a little bit of maple syrup and a nice little dollop of whipped cream. It has a fluffy texture but it's really crispy on the outside and the sourdough just gives it a really you know different twist to it that I really enjoy. So if you enjoyed this recipe please thumbs up and subscribe that way you can see all the videos or future videos that I have and please share this with your friends and family and that's why I do these videos and see you guys next time.
