Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup sliced strawberries
  • 2 tsp white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk (full or low fat)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 – 2 tbsp unsalted butter (more for extra richness)
  • 10 slices of baguette (French stick), about 2 1/5″ (3 cm) thick

Toppings

  • Maple syrup (not optional!)
  • Confectioners sugar (icing sugar) for dusting (optional)
  • Extra strawberries (optional)

Instructions

  1. Macerate Strawberries: Combine the sliced strawberries and sugar in a bowl, then set aside. This allows the strawberries to sweat and release their juices, forming a flavorful syrup to top your toast.
  2. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a shallow bowl, lightly whisk together the eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt until well combined for soaking the bread slices.
  3. Heat Butter: Melt the unsalted butter in a large fry pan over medium-high heat to prepare for frying the French toast slices.
  4. Dip Bread in Egg Mixture: Dip each side of the baguette slices into the egg mixture for about 3 seconds per side to soak evenly without becoming soggy.
  5. Fry French Toast: Place the soaked bread slices in the hot pan and fry each side for approximately 2 1/2 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Remove the French toast from the pan and serve immediately topped with the macerated strawberries and their syrup, a generous drizzle of maple syrup, and a dusting of confectioners sugar if desired. Add extra fresh strawberries for garnish if you like.

Notes

  • For best results, use slightly stale baguette slices to better absorb the egg mixture without becoming too soggy.
  • Adjust sugar quantity in the strawberry maceration according to sweetness preference.
  • Use unsalted butter to control the saltiness; add more butter for richer flavor.
  • Serve immediately for optimal texture and flavor, as French toast is best enjoyed fresh and warm.
  • Maple syrup is essential for authentic taste and sweetness balance.
