Ingredients for Australian French Toast

  • 2 large eggs
  • Skim Milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Thick Bread
  • 1 tablespoon margarine

How to Make Australian French Toast

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup milk until light and frothy.
  2. Dip 4 slices of your favorite bread (challah, sourdough, or Texas toast work well) into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated. Let them soak for about 30 seconds per side, or until the bread is saturated but not soggy.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of margarine in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once melted and shimmering, add the soaked bread slices.
  4. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy! Top with your favorite savory additions like avocado, bacon, cheese, or a sprinkle of herbs.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
