French Toast | Eggless French Toast

French toast recipe with step by step photos – quick and easy recipe for a sweet french toast made without eggs.

On some days when I have a bread loaf in the fridge, I make these french toasts. They are Super quick and easy to make.

While growing up, this was one of those breakfasts that was made at home, at least twice a week. We used to make these with eggs then. Later I started making them just with milk and sugar. i have been making these eggless french toasts for quite some time now.

In the recipe, Custard powder is added as a substitute for eggs and it works very well. There is a crisp texture on the toasts and the insides are soft. Like mentioned before, I have made these with just milk and sugar too, but then the toasts do not get that crisp and tend to be more on the softer side. Nevertheless these too also taste good.

French toasts always have to served hot or warm. don’t serve them at room temperature, as then they no longer have the crisp texture from outside. You can serve them with milk, tea or coffee. You can even drizzle some maple syrup on top. If drizzling honey, then drizzle it once the toasts have become warm. You can also top them with berries or fruits.

For making these french toasts, use any good quality bread – Wheat bread, Brown bread, oatmeal, multi grain or White bread. even Sandwich bread works well. Homemade breads are best. If you are using a loaf, then make slightly thick slices. This recipe can be doubled and tripled. Depending on the size of the bread slices, you can make 4 to 6 slices of french toasts.

How to make french toast

Making custard-milk mixture

1. In a mixing bowl take 2 tbsp custard powder, 2 tbsp sugar and ¼ tsp vanilla extract or essence. add 2 tbsp corn starch in the absence of custard powder. In this case add 1 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla essence.

2. Now add ½ cup milk. You can even use soy milk or almond milk.

3. Keep on stirring till all the sugar is dissolved. There should be no lumps in the mixture.

4. Now heat a well seasoned pan or a non stick pan. Add ½ tsp butter. You can use salted or unsalted butter. I use salted butter as it gives a good taste.

5. With a spoon spread the butter on the pan.

6. Dip the bread slice in the custard-milk mixture. Let the bread absorb this mixture. But remember not to make the bread soggy.  every time before you dip the bread, do stir this mixture as the custard powder settles down.

7. Remove the bread slice and place it on the pan. Toast on a low to medium flame.

8. When the base gets golden, flip the bread and toast the other side.

9. Flip again. You can even flip once or twice for an even cooking and golden color.

10. You can also fry two or three slices at a time. In this case add 1 to 1.5 tsp butter respectively.

11. Fry the slices in the same way.

12. Remove the slices in a plate or tray and serve french toasts hot.

I sprinkled some cinnamon powder and served them. You can serve these french toast plain or topped with some maple syrup or fruits.
