This weekend we're in Grants Pass spending some time with my girlfriend's sister and her husband. Yesterday they bought some really nice cinnamon chip sourdough bread, it's from a local bakery. Being that we found it at a discount outlet store it was a little dry and stale--perfect for French toast. I did some research for recipes but ultimately made my own to follow.
1/2 cup whole milk
4 large eggs
3 tablespoons white sugar (or honey)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 rustic loaf of a sweet sourdough bread (homemade if you have it)
Whisk together all ingredients for custard and park it in your refrigerator for at least an hour (overnight if you have time). Be sure to use a crusty a bread, especially something that's gone stale. The stale bread will take longer to soak but the structures in the bread will act as a sponge for the custard. When your custard mixture has had enough time for the flavors to marry cut off slabs of bread, soak it in the mix and fry it in butter until the edges brown. If you're making a lot set your oven to low and place the cooked pieces on a parchment lined baking sheet to stay warm. Serve with cooked sausages and fried eggs.
