Sourdough French Toast

Ingredients

• 5 Farm Fresh eggs
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 1/2 t vanilla extract
• 1t ground cinnamon
• 1 cup heavy cream
• thick sliced, sourdough bread
• non-stick pan spray

Preparation

• Combine all ingredients in mixing bowl.
• Heat cast iron skillet or saute pan to medium.
• Spray cooking pan with pan spray.
• Dip slice of bread into batter, allow excess to drip off back into bowl.
• Lay dipped bread into heated pan and cook for approximately 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown then remove from heat.
• Continue with the remaining bread, serve immediately with choice of toppings.

Comments

• Any type of bread may be used, but I like to use thick cut so it can soak up the batter.
• After slicing bread, leave it out to "dry out" for an hour or so before cooking. Really fresh bread can lead to soggy French toast.
• Additions to consider adding to batter: ground ginger or other spices, citrus zest and juice, or even a splash of your favorite after dinner spirit.
• Toppings that we use include whipped cream, berry compotes or jams, spiced apples, and of course maple syrup.
• This batter recipe will make enough French toast to feed about 4-6 adults.
