Classic French Toast with Choice of Toppings Serves 6 generously Pure and simple breakfast or brunch food. Each topping adds its own distinctive taste to this classic, and can be made days before. Feel free to use slightly stale bread here, as the dip in the cream and eggs will revive it. Ingredients 5 eggs 2 cups (475 mL) whipping cream ½ tsp. (2.5 mL) ground nutmeg ¾ tsp. (4 mL) ground cinnamon 1 tsp. (5 mL) finely grated lemon zest (optional) 2 Tbsp. (30 mL) unsalted butter 12 ¾-inch (1.9-cm) slices Pain au Lait, brioche, challah, white, or fruit bread Toppings maple syrup and toasted pecans or Raspberry Honey Butter or Honey Citrus Yogurt (see below) or fresh strawberries and whipped cream or sautéed pears and toasted almond slivers Instructions Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, whisk the eggs, cream, spices, and zest, if using. Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Dip both sides of each slice of bread into the egg mixture, and lightly fry each side until golden. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes. Lay on plates, and serve with any of the toppings mentioned above. Honey Citrus Yogurt ½ cup (120 mL) yogurt 1 tsp. (5 mL) orange zest 1 tsp. (5 mL) lemon zest 2 tsp. (10 mL) wildflower honey or any other delicate-tasting honey Mix the yogurt, zest, and honey together. Taste and add more honey or citrus zest if you want a more pronounced taste. COOK'S TIP
