French Toast Recipe (Classic Pan-Fried)
French toast recipe: Bread slices are dipped in a quick egg-and-milk mixture sweetened with sugar and lightly spiced with nutmeg, then pan-fried until golden. It’s a simple breakfast you can finish fast; dust with confectioners’ sugar right before serving. Clear steps and easy-to-find ingredients.
Ingredients
1. For the custard mixture
2. For serving
Step-by-Step Method
Mix the batter
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg. Add milk, sugar, and nutmeg, then stir until the sugar dissolves.
Dip the bread
Dip bread slices briefly into the mixture. Don’t soak too long—just coat both sides.
Heat the pan
Warm a nonstick skillet over medium heat. If needed, lightly grease the surface to prevent sticking.
Cook until golden
Cook the slices for 2–3 minutes per side, turning once. Keep the heat moderate so they brown without burning.
Finish and serve
Serve right away and dust with confectioners’ sugar. Add a tiny pinch of nutmeg on top if you like.
