Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 thick slices of a hearty sandwich bread We use our homemade milk sandwich loaf. But Challah Bread works too. Bread slices should be approximately 1/2 inch or up to 3/4 inch thickness.
  • 2 teaspoons avocado oil
  • 1/2 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoons asiago cheese grated. Or use your favorite cheese.

FOR THE FRENCH TOAST BATTER: (this batter can be use to generously coat up to 4 slices of bread)

  • 1 large egg whisked thoroughly
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 6 to 8 fresh tarragon leaves finely minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons raw honey or maple syrup adjust sweetness to your taste

FOR EGG SANDWICH

  • 2 large eggs
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

LET'S MAKE THE BATTER:

  • In a small bowl or measuring cup, add the egg. Whisk it thoroughly.
    Note: don't skip this step to avoid streaks of egg whites. Works better to whisk eggs before adding the milk and remaining ingredients.
  • Add the milk and all the remaining ingredients. Whisk thoroughly to combine. Strain the batter into a flat bottom bowl high enough to fit the bread flat.
    Note: Sift in at least the cornstarch to prevent dealing with lumps.

LET'S COOK THE FRENCH TOAST:

  • Heat a cast iron skillet using medium high to high heat.
  • Once the pan is hot, takes a few minutes, add the avocado oil and butter. Maintain heat to medium to medium high.
    Note: A little smoking is okay but you don't want the fat to start burning, so adjust heat as needed.
  • Quickly dip the bread slices in the batter, coating both sides thoroughly.
    Note: Do not let the bread sit in the batter as this will cause the bread to be soggy and it will not yield the best crusty, crunchy toast.
  • Cook each side of the battered bread 2 to 3 minutes per side until lightly golden.
    Note: Adjust heat if needed.
  • Remove the toast to a serving plate and sprinkle with the cheese while the toast is hot.

COOK THE EGGS YOUR FAVORITE WAY

  • I fry my eggs soft in the same cast iron pan.
  • Add egg to French Toast. Enjoy. Happy Cooking.
