Ingredients
- ⅔ cup milk
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
- 3 eggs large
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
- pinch salt
- 3 tablespoon flour
- 8 sourdough bread slices
- Butter for cooking
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix milk, heavy cream, eggs, sugar, cinnamon (or pumpkin pie spice) and salt, and mix until well combined.
- Add flour and mix until smooth.
- Place the batter in a shallow baking dish. Soak the sourdough bread slices for 5 minutes. Turn slices over and soak for another 5 minutes.
- Heat a cast iron skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, melt about 1 teaspoon of butter and cook your french toast until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip bread slices over and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more, until golden brown. Careful not to burn: if the bread is getting too dark, lower the heat.
- Serve them warm, with the toppings of your choice.

Notes
You can use a blender to mix all ingredients of the batter.
My favorite bread options for French toast are sourdough brioche and sourdough sandwich bread.
Expert Tips:
- Slice the bread 1-inch thick.
- Mix the batter well. Or you’ll get pieces of egg white through your french toast.
- Preheat your skillet over medium-low heat before you start cooking your french toast.
- Don’t cook them over high heat, or you’ll risk burning your toast without fully cooking it.
- To get a french toast that’s not soggy, you need to fully cook it. Cook your sourdough using medium-low heat, in a preheated iron skillet or frying pan, for at least 3 minutes each side.
