Instructions

Prepare Station
Gather and measure all ingredients; set out a wide shallow bowl, whisk, knife, cutting board, frying pan, spatula, and plate. · 5 min
What to look for: All ingredients are measured and tools are within reach.
Whisk Custard
Whisk eggs with milk and vanilla sugar in the wide shallow bowl until the mixture is smooth and lightly foamy. · 2 min
What to look for: The custard looks even, pale yellow, and lightly bubbly.
Slice Bread
Slice the baguette into thick pieces about 2 cm wide, keeping the crumb intact so each slice can soak without falling apart. · 2 min
What to look for: Slices are thick, even, and sturdy.
Soak Slices
Soak the bread slices in the egg mixture for 30 seconds per side, turning gently so the centers moisten but do not collapse. · 2 min
What to look for: Bread is moist on the surface but still holds its shape.
Heat Butter
Melt clarified butter in the frying pan over medium heat until it shimmers and coats the base without browning. · 2 min
What to look for: Butter is melted, glossy, and gently shimmering.
Fry Toasts
Fry soaked bread slices for 2-3 minutes per side, working in batches if needed, until both faces are deep golden. · 6 min
What to look for: Each toast is deep golden with crisp edges and a soft center.
Serve Hot
Serve the sweet French toast immediately, sprinkling with sugar if desired while the crust is crisp and the center stays custardy. · 1 min
What to look for: Toasts are hot, glossy, and ready to eat.

Allergens

Contains: gluten, eggs, milk

Ingredient substitutions

Baguette

Brioche bread: Use the same weight; it gives a richer, softer toast.

Milk

Water: Use only if milk is unavailable; the custard will be much less rich.

Vanilla sugar

Sugar: Keeps the sweetness but loses the classic vanilla aroma.

Clarified butter

Sunflower oil: It fries cleanly but lacks the buttery flavor of clarified butter.

Sugar

Vanilla sugar: Adds extra vanilla aroma when sprinkled just before serving.
