French Toast
RECIPE COURTESY OF ALTON BROWN
Level: Easy
Total: 34 min
Prep: 10 min
Cook: 24 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
1 cup half-and-half
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons honey, warmed in microwave for 20 seconds
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 (1/2-inch) slices day-old or stale country loaf, brioche or challah bread
4 tablespoons butter
Directions
In medium size mixing bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, eggs, honey, and salt. You may do this the night before. When ready to cook, pour custard mixture into a pie pan and set aside.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Dip bread into mixture, allow to soak for 30 seconds on each side, and then remove to a cooling rack that is sitting in a sheet pan, and allow to sit for 1 to 2 minutes.
Over medium-low heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a 10-inch nonstick saute pan. Place 2 slices of bread at a time into the pan and cook until golden brown, approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from pan and place on rack in oven for 5 minutes. Repeat with all 8 slices. Serve immediately with maple syrup, whipped cream or fruit.

Letting the bread get stale by exposure to household air is gross. Unless you live in a sterile environment there are dust, allergen, animal and/or human dander, household smells that will be absorbed by the bread! Simply pop the bread in the toaster for a minute! It'll get dried out without the contamination. Also…add a sprinkle of nutmeg to the custard! Finally…. sprinkle a tiny amount of cinnamon on the french toast just before you pour your warmed up 100% maple syrup on it. You can also dry the bread in the oven!

I just have to wonder what world you're living in where you'd just leave bread out overnight completely uncovered. The arctic?

This inspired me when it came out to cook French toast for my family. Long time ago. It’s changed over the years to mass production of 12-16 slices at a time using a dozen eggs. Best French toast anyone who’s eaten has ever had.

Finally someone who knows that French toast (pain perdu or wasted bread) is made with the leftover bread. It is important it is stale bread.
@DerpyRedneck
December 16, 2023 at 8:29 pm
My suggestions for making this into a gorgeous pain perdu while still following everything Alton Brown laid out:
1. Add some cinnamon
2. Add a small touch nutmeg
3. Add a little vanilla extract
4. Use a whole grain sourdough bread for this
5. Add a little wine to your custard!
Dry white, marsala, sack, or sherry are preferred
6. Let the custard soak in longer than Alton Suggested, like 15 minutes like Townsend and Sons suggested
7. Add a couple pinches of salt to the custard.

John 14:6 KJV, "Jesus saith, I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
1 Peter 2:24 NIV, "He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed."
John 3:16 KJV, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life".
Romans 3:23-24 NIV, "…for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus".
John 8:12 KJV, "I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life".
Jesus is the only WAY to God, the TRUTH of salvation, and the Breath/Bread of LIFE.
ACCEPT Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. Sins separate us from God because He's Holy. All sins will be forgiven and erased through faith in Christ Jesus. God ♥ you, is alive, merciful, faithful, truthful, and is waiting with His arms wide open FOR YOU! For Jesus did not come to establish a religion, but to become a mediator between God and men.
Through the Grace of God, Jesus was given to us by paying the price at the Cross at Calvary. Repent and confess from your sins to Jesus and ask Him to forgive you. A sinner cannot save a sinner, only a sinless person can. That sinless Being is Jesus Christ Himself.
Through the faith in Christ Jesus, the sick was healed; everywhere He went, He healed the blind, the mute, the deaf, the demon-possessed, raised the dead, as well as performed many miracles; He also walked on water, turned water into wine, calmed the storm with His command, and was raised up from the dead. Miracles are still being seen today! Jesus is our helper, our healer, our refuge/protection, and our strength for when time gets tough.
God is standing and knocking at the door waiting for your answer right now because THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS COMING.

I wish they would have taped/recorded it longer and shown the end & final product, especially the show's host sampeling it. It's a more effective selling tool that way.

I took a page out of his book today …. so I’m having a rodent issue at my house currently so I can’t leave the bread on the counter so I put them in the toaster oven over night with it turned off the bread didn’t crust up enough so I put it on a rack and put it in front of a fan for a hour on high …. boom stale bread

SIX improvements: add vanillla and black pepper to the batter; two, add a little olive oil to the butter in the pan, so that the butter doesn't burn; three, thoroughly soak the slices of bread, until they are so soft that only your hands and a spatula can raise them from the batter to the pan; four, cook on lower temperature and COVER THE PAN TIGHTLY, so that the French toast bakes inside and soufflées! (thus, no need for the oven); five, turn each slice only once, after first side begins to soufflé; six, remove from pan when souffléed slices double in size, and serve!

The directions say to preheat over to 375, but then it never tells you to put the bread into the oven. Simple mistake, but is not what Alton does in the video.

Alton Brown came under fire for saying things he should be fired for. He made references to concentration camps and the Holocaust. Fire him already.
