Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup full fat milk
  • 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 4 slices from a small white loaf or 2 slices from a large white loaf, each large slice cut in half
  • 1-ounce butter, plus a drop flavourless oil, for frying
  • 1/4 cup sugar

Directions

Beat the eggs with the milk and vanilla in a wide shallow bowl.

Soak the bread halves in the eggy mixture for 5 minutes a side.

Heat the butter and oil in a frying pan/skillet, fry the egg-soaked bread until golden and scorched in parts on both sides.

Put the sugar onto a plate and then dredge the cooked bread until coated like a sugared doughnut.

    This suck.!!!!

    Rated: 1 stars out of 5
    Tell me Nigella have you ever soaked bread for 5 minutes? Obviously not! The vanilla made it taste like sour milk. Delete... the vanilla and add cinammon and sugar and only soak bread for 3 seconds per side and you have the classic all american recipe for french toast. Sorry, try again. I may be just a little bitter for wasting all my ingredients. I followed your recipe only to have to call my dad and use his recipe. Thanks, but no thanks. Read more

    This was so quick & easy. I didn't soak it for the full 5 minutes and I put a little bit of cinnamon in with the sugar and it... was wonderful!! Read more

    I saw Nigella's show this morning and had all of the fixings to make this dish. Boy was I glad. I added other berries to... the "jam" mixture and it was so yummy. Thank you to a previous reviewer for the recipe for the "jam". It was omitted from Nigella's french toast recipe.Read more

    Pretty good, needed some fine tuning...

    Rated: 3 stars out of 5
    This was pretty good. After i soaked my french toast i used the little bit of the egg mixture i had left to soak another... piece. I liked the one that i didnt soak as long. The one that had been soaked for the right amount of time was a little too eggy for me and i wouldn't like having as much vanilla. All in all it was pretty good though. If i made it again i would have less vanilla and soak it less.Read more

    Absolutely Delicious

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    One of the first things things I learned to cook was traditional french toast. So, when I saw this show, I was very excited... to try to make this. I made it for a friend and I for brunch and it was exactly the comfort food we were looking for and it's so easy. Thanks for a great recipe.Read more
