Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sliced strawberries
- 2 tsp white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp full or low-fat milk
- Pinch of salt
- 1 – 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 10 slices baguette (french stick), about 2 1/5″ / 3cm thick
- Maple syrup (not optional!)
- Confectioners sugar (icing sugar), for dusting (optional)
- Extra strawberries (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the sliced strawberries with white sugar in a bowl and let them sit for several minutes to macerate. This process softens the strawberries and creates a sweet syrup to enhance flavor.
- In a shallow bowl, lightly whisk together the eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt until well combined to create the batter for dipping the bread.
- Melt the unsalted butter in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until it is hot and foamy, ready for frying the bread slices.
- Dip each slice of baguette into the egg mixture, coating each side for about 3 seconds. Place the coated slices in the hot pan and fry each side for approximately 2 1/2 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the French toast from the pan and plate. Top generously with the macerated strawberries and their syrup. Drizzle with maple syrup and optionally dust with confectioners sugar. Add extra fresh strawberries if desired. Serve immediately for best taste.
Notes
- Serve immediately for the best taste.
- Adjust sugar based on the sweetness of strawberries.
- Feel free to add your favorite toppings.
