Ingredients
For the French Toast
- 4 slices Irish soda bread
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup whole milk
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- Butter, for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the custard mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Soak the soda bread: Dip each slice of Irish soda bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak briefly to absorb the custard but not become overly soggy.
- Heat the skillet: Melt a small amount of butter in a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat until bubbling and hot.
- Cook the French toast: Place the soaked slices of soda bread onto the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until each side is golden brown and slightly crisp.
- Serve: Remove from the skillet and serve immediately with maple syrup or a fresh berry compote, as desired.
Notes
- Serve with maple syrup or berry compote for added sweetness and flavor.
- For richer custard, you can substitute whole milk with cream or half-and-half.
- Irish soda bread has a denser texture than regular bread, so be careful not to soak it too long to avoid sogginess.
- Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned pan for best results and easier flipping.
- Leftover French toast can be reheated in a toaster or oven to retain crispness.
