Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground paprika
- 4 slices Day-old bread (sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and paprika until well combined.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the pan.
Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated but not overly soaked.
Carefully lay the dipped bread slice onto the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining bread slices, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
Remove the French toast from the skillet and keep it warm on a plate lined with foil or in a low-temperature oven while finishing the rest.
Serve the French toast hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired. It can be paired with a side of cooked eggs, bacon, or a light salad for a complete meal.
