When I was working for Chili's, my boss used to make us french toast when we had meetings and it was the BEST french toast I had ever had. He used to be a cook at a breakfast place a long time ago and he told me the secret is to add vanilla ice cream to the egg mixture. I was also reading that after you brown both sides of the french toast in a skillet, place it in a oven at 350 degrees for 5 minutes to firm up the center so you do not have a mushy center.
Tonight I made french toast and I went to Great Harvest Bread Co. and bought apple cinnamon crunch bread, delicious! I cut the bread into 1/2" slices and placed the pieces of bread into my egg mixture. I used 4 eggs, 1 to 1 1/2 cups half and half and 1/2 cup of melted vanilla ice cream. I used a pinch of salt and whisked it all together. I used my electric skillet on 350 degrees and toasted both sides of the bread. I sprayed a cookie sheet with Pam and placed the french toast in the oven for about 5 minutes. I turned the oven off and kept what I did not plate up until the troops were ready for more. I have to say it was yummy! It was rich, so you only needed 1 large piece, but oh so good.
