Poppy Seed French Toast
Cookbook
The pleasant crunch and mild flavor of poppy seeds make this French toast a nice way to start the day. I like to use the semisoft, inexpensive French bread or Italian bread found at supermarkets, but other breads work well, too.
Yield : Serves 4
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons poppy seeds
- 3 eggs
- 2 cups whole or low-fat milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 12 slices sandwich bread (preferably thick-sliced), or 24 1-inch slices soft french bread
- 2 to 4 tablespoons butter
Directions
1. In a bowl, whisk together the poppy seeds, eggs, milk, vanilla, nutmeg, and sugar.
2. Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat.
3. Dip one slice of the bread into the egg batter, then quickly take it out (I gently squeeze some of the batter back into the bowl so the bread isn’t dripping wet). Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter over the griddle or in the skillet, and add the dipped bread. Continue dipping bread slices, stirring the batter frequently so all the poppy seeds don’t sink to the bottom, and laying the bread on the griddle or in the skillet until no more bread will fit. Cook the slices for about 2 minutes per side, or until they are golden. Keep the French toast warm in a slow oven while you melt more butter and use the rest of the bread and batter. Serve the French toast with maple syrup.
