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)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and paprika until well combined.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated but not overly soaked.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
