🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sour cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Make sure the mixture is well-combined and slightly frothy. Don't be afraid to really get in there and whisk – it makes a difference I swear!
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated. Try to avoid over-soaking the bread; you want it coated, not soggy. A quick dip and flip is usually enough! Aim for about 10 seconds per side.
- Heat your 8-inch skillet over medium heat. Add a pat (about 1 tbsp) of butter to the skillet. Once the butter is melted and foamy, carefully place the soaked bread slices into the hot pan. Don't overcrowd the pan; work in batches if necessary, okay?
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the French toast is golden brown and cooked through. Use a spatula to gently flip the slices; if they stick, give it a moment longer or use a little more butter or oil. It's okay if they're not perfect!
- Once cooked, remove the French toast from the skillet and place it on a plate. Serve immediately. Top with your favorite fruits, syrup, powdered sugar, or whipped cream, or maybe even a drizzle of honey or chocolate. Yummy!
📝 Notes
- For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter.
- Make sure your bread slices are not too thin or they may fall apart when you soak them in the batter.
- This recipe can be adapted to use other types of bread, or even leftover cake!
