Ingredients

- Saute the soaked bread slices on both sides in shallow hot fat until golden brown.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brioche or challah bread instead of regular bread. You can substitute almond milk or soy milk for a dairy-free version. Adding a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the egg mixture can elevate the taste. If you're short on time, preheat your pan while you prepare the egg mixture to ensure a quick cook time.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your French Toast Deluxe hot, drizzled with additional warmed Log Cabin syrup. For a delightful brunch, pair it with fresh fruit, like berries or sliced bananas, and a dollop of whipped cream. This dish also complements a side of crispy bacon or sausage. For a twist, try it with a side of Summer Soup.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover French toast in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the slices in a toaster or a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the bread soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh bread instead of day-old bread?
While day-old bread is preferred for better absorption of the egg mixture, you can use fresh bread. Just let it sit out for a few hours to dry slightly, or lightly toast it before dipping to prevent it from becoming too soggy.
How can I make this recipe vegan?
To make a vegan version, substitute the eggs with a mixture of ground flaxseed and water (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal with 2.5 tablespoons water per egg). Use plant-based milk like almond or oat milk, and consider using maple syrup instead of Log Cabin syrup for a more natural sweetener.
What toppings can I add to French toast?
In addition to syrup, you can top your French toast with a variety of options such as fresh fruits, nuts, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. For a decadent treat, consider adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a spread of Nutella for an indulgent breakfast experience.
