There was recently this thread on MetaFilter on french toast. In the main entry, there were quite a few links to recipes. However, the one that interested me most was this recipe from the July 1992 issue of Bon Appatit for overnight french toast.
The basic ingredients are the same — eggs, milk, sugar, bread, and so on. However, the eggs are “marinated” overnight and then baked in the oven. Mmm, sounds tasty. And, it takes some of the guesswork out of when to flip the toast (as a french toast beginner, I end up flipping too early or too late more often than I would like).
In addition to that overnight french toast recipe, there was also this link to “monkey makes yummy croissant french toast!” in the comments. There, a stuffed monkey shows the steps of making french toast. It’s cute, but informative at the same time. And, the directions are clear enough that I’d find the site to still be a useful reference even without the adorable monkey.
Of course, in addition to moneky recipe for french toast there’re many other recipes in the Cooking with Monkey series. In particular, I think I'll check out the Guacamole with Nachos recipe, as that sounds tasty yet something that I wouldn’t want to do incorrectly for fear of ruining any otherwise perfectly-good avocados ;).
How could you possibly a french toast beginner? Boy Scouts surely had to teach you how to make french toast!
cute, yet informative! yep! that’s me!
