Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients:

• One baguette of bread
• Two eggs
• One large glass of milk
• Vegetable oil for frying
• A bit of vanilla sugar (optional for added flavor)

Step 2: Prepare the Egg Mixture

In this step, you’ll create the custard mix that gives French toast its rich flavor.

1. In a large bowl, crack the two eggs.
2. Add the large glass of milk to the eggs.
3. If you like a hint of sweetness, add a sprinkle of vanilla sugar.
4. Whisk the mixture until it is well combined and slightly frothy.

Step 3: Slice the Baguette

Now, you’ll need to prepare your bread for soaking.

1. Take the baguette and slice it into thick pieces, about 1 inch in thickness.
2. Make sure the slices are even to ensure uniform cooking.

Step 4: Soak the Bread

This step is crucial for ensuring that your bread absorbs the custard mixture.

1. Dip each slice of baguette into the egg and milk mixture.
2. Allow the bread to soak for about 10-15 seconds on each side, ensuring it’s well-coated but not falling apart.

Step 5: Cook the French Toast

Now it's time to fry the soaked bread slices.

1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of vegetable oil.
2. Once the oil is hot, place the soaked bread slices in the skillet.
3. Cook each slice for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
4. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Once cooked, it’s time to serve your delicious French toast.

1. Remove the French toast from the skillet and place it on a plate.
2. You can top it with powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or syrup according to your preference.
