  • Whisk together until egg is blended smoothly with other ingredients. Mixture should look pale, yellow or cream colored. Then Set aside.
  • Heat Large Skillet over medium heat. Add in butter and allow it to melt (reduce heat if your butter begins browning quickly).
  • Quickly lay one slice of bread into the egg cream mixture for about 5 seconds then flip and allow other side to sit for about 5 seconds then use fork to lift bread and place into skillet with butter. You should hear the pan sizzle when the bread hits it.

  • Let bread cook on one side for about 2-3 min or until you see its browning. Then flip with Metal spatula and allow the other side to cook. French toast should be perfectly browned on both sides,now.

  • Enjoy with Fresh fruit, whipped cream, pure maple or chocolate drizzle on top! (really the world is your oyster, put whatever you want on top) and enjoy!

Notes

 
Recipe Pro Tips:
Read the recipe: in its fullness one time before actually beginning it, it will increase your success with the recipe. As sometimes it hard to follow instructions while executing them.
The Skillet: you use can be stainless steel, cast iron or non-stick. When using a stainless steel pan just be very cautious of your heat as you may need to reduce the temp to low-medium to prevent the butter from burning too quickly. Browned Butter is delicious, burnt butter not some much! 
Bread: The plus about this recipe is it can be made with your favorite gluten-free bread also. Whatever type of bread you choose, you'll want something that is, thick, dense or stale(day-old). My personal favorites to use are a thick-cut sourdough, or a brioche, but if you are feeling adventurous try this with some day old croissants (YUM!).
Toppings/How to serve: In our home we serve french toast with a drizzle of pure maple syrup or honey on top and then we put "sprinkles" aka hemp hearts (shelled hemp seeds) on top! I either serve it along size a cheese omelette with avocado and fruit or greek yogurt with berries.
