How to Make Caramelized French Toast

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, and salt.
  3. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
  4. Cook 4 slices of bread in the skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Remove cooked bread slices from the skillet and set aside.
  6. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet.
  7. Cook the remaining 4 slices of bread, using the same method as above.
  8. Once all bread is cooked, add brown sugar to the skillet.
  9. Cook, stirring constantly, until the brown sugar melts and forms a thick caramel sauce.
  10. Carefully pour in the water, stirring continuously until the sauce is smooth and slightly less thick.
  11. Add the cooked French toast to the skillet, turning gently to coat each slice in the caramel sauce.
  12. Serve immediately and enjoy!
