Description

If you are wondering what to do with stale bread, then this sourdough French toast recipe is perfect! Tell me what’s better than cooking a day-old sourdough dipped in a custard of milk, eggs, sugar, and cinnamon and served with your favorite berries and maple syrup for your morning breakfast. (Um well, yum and delicious, I must say!)

 

There is stale sourdough bread in my fridge, so I thought of making the appetizing French toast with sourdough, which all the family loved. The French toast sourdough is so easy to make; I just put together the milk, eggs, sugar, ground cinnamon, and flour to make it better, then soak my sourdough slices and fry them in butter. I serve them with fresh fruits, powdered sugar, and maple syrup. My choice of lavish breakfast is French toast, waffles, pancakes, puddings and toast.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices of stale or a day-old sourdough (Cut into 1-inch-thick and 6-inch-long)
  • 3 eggs
  • ¾ cup whole milk
  • 1/2 tablespoon heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (my secret ingredient)
  • 2 tablespoons of butter, unsalted

Instructions

  • Serve with your Favorite Toppings: For extra delight, serve the sourdough bread French toast with berries, honey, maple syrup, bananas, or sweet crumbs.

Notes

  1. The perfect thickness for bread slices for French toast is ¾ to 1 inch. Don’t make thinner slices, as they will fall apart when soaked in custard.
  2. Don’t oversoak the French toast. Many recipes ask you to soak for some minutes, but the key to perfect French toast is moderate soaking. The soaking time should be 20-30 seconds, and it also depends on the type of bread you are using.
  3. The ratio of milk and eggs in the custard is very important. There must be 2 eggs for ½ cup of milk. You don’t want to make it extra eggy. The right ratio creates a balanced custard flavor.
  4. Flip carefully with the help of a spatula so the toast won’t break.
  5. I have extra tips! If you are willing to use regular fresh bread, toast it first to get nice crusty edges, so it won’t get mushy and is easy to handle.
