This easy sourdough French toast recipe will be ready in 15 minutes, and it is perfect for using any leftover sourdough you have. Serve for breakfast or as a dessert!
Whisk together milk, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract and heavy cream until combined.
Place 1-2 slices of the bread into the mixture, allow it to soak up the egg mixture for a few seconds, then flip it. Allow the other side to soak in the mixture for a few seconds as well.
Heat the butter in a non-stick pan.
Once melted, add the soaked bread to the pan, cook for 2 minutes or until the bottom is golden. Flip it and cook for 1-2 minutes more or until it is golden brown.
Repeate soaking and cooking the remaining bread.
Transfer the toast to a serving plate, top with maple syrup, butter and your favourite fruits, serve warm.
Notes
Soak thick slices of sourdough bread in an egg and milk mixture. French toast's exquisite bite is lost when cut thinly. So go thick.
Add a minimal amount of oil alongside your butter. The added cooking oil will prevent your butter from burning but don't skip butter in this recipe as it gives more depth and richness to your french toast.
Make sure the pan is hot enough before putting in your toast. If the pan is not well heated yet, chances are your toast will stick to the pan's surface, ruining its appearance altogether.
