Strawberry French Toast is a delicious breakfast or brunch recipe! Bread soaked in a custard and cooked until crisp, then topped with a strawberry sauce.
Slice your bread into pieces approximately 3/4 to 1 inch thick as desired.
Lay the bread out on a baking sheet and place in the oven for the bread to dry out, approximately 15 minutes. Remove the bread from the oven.
If you want to keep the cooked French toast pieces warm as you make them later, leave the oven on with a baking sheet that has a cooling rack sitting on top (for better air circulation) in the oven.
While the bread is drying out, in a large and shallow dish whisk together 2 Tablespoons of the butter (melted first), milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Once combined, whisk in the flour until incorporated well.
Preheat a large nonstick skillet on the stove over medium heat.
Place two pieces of bread in the custard batter and soak for 30 seconds per side.
Put a small bit of butter (about 1/2 Tablespoon) into the skillet. When melted, add both pieces of the soaked bread.
Cook for about 2-2.5 minutes per side, developing a golden brown color on each side.
Move the cooked toast to either the warming station inside the oven or on plates to serve.
Repeat with the remaining bread.
Serve with the strawberry sauce, powdered sugar, or syrup as desired.
