The recipe for French Toast made by Fred Harvey chefs for the Santa Fe Railway.
Ingredients:
2 slices white bread, cut 3/4 inch thick
1/2 cup light cream
2 eggs
pinch salt
1/2 cup cooking oil
How to do it:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place cooking oil in a skillet and heat it. Meanwhile, cut each bread slice diagonally to form four triangles. In a small bowl, combine eggs, cream and salt and beat well. Soak bread thoroughly in the egg/cream mixture.
Fry the soaked bread slices in the hot oil to a golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Left from skillet to clean paper towels and allow to absorb excess cooking oil.
Transfer to baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake 4-6 minutes until the bread slices have puffed up. Serve sprinkled with powdered sugar.
