Honey French Toast

Honey French Toast! Since I am not a baker, I rarely keep vanilla bean extracts and cinnamon in my spice pantry. While I've seen French toast recipes without ingredients to sweeten the French toast, I prefer my French toast to have more flavor than eggs and milk so I started using ingredients I readily have in the kitchen to sweeten the toast.

Back in January, I shared my Hazelnut French Toast recipe when I was flavoring my coffee with Chobani hazelnut-flavored coffee creamer. As I returned to lightening morning coffee with whole milk, I looked for other ingredients to sweeten the French toast, and honey caught my attention.

INGREDIENTS

two slices of milk bread

one egg

two tablespoons of whole milk

one tablespoon of honey

one tablespoon of unsalted butter, cut into two pieces

In a bowl large enough to soak one slice of bread at a time, whisk together egg, milk, and honey. Place one slice of bread in the bowl to soak in the egg mixture and flip. Heat a non-stick frying pan over high heat and place one piece of butter. Place soaked bread in the frying pan and gently press it with a spatula.

Place the second slice of milk bread in the bowl to soak. Reduce the heat to medium and leave it until the bottom side has turned golden brown. Change the heat to high, immediately flip the bread, and gently press it with a spatula. 

Flip the bread in the bowl. Reduce the heat to medium and leave it until the bottom side has turned golden brown. Remove the Honey French Toast from the frying pan, change the heat to high, and add butter. Add the second bread to the frying pan and repeat until both sides are golden brown. While I don't serve this Honey French Toast with maple syrup, you may want some syrup if you've got an extra sweet tooth.
