Introduction: Starting Your Global Culinary Journey
Hey there, young chefs! Ready to travel the world from your kitchen? We’re about to hop on a delicious journey and make some super fun and easy recipes from all over the globe. Let’s get our taste buds ready for a yum-tastic culinary adventure!
Breakfast in Paris: French Toast
We’ll kick off by learning how to make French Toast—no need to speak French, I promise! This comforting classic breakfast dish is super easy to make and oh-so-delicious!
Whipping Up the Egg Mixture
First, let’s beat some eggs and get our bread soaking. It’s super easy! Crack the eggs into a bowl, add a splash of milk, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and a hint of vanilla extract. Whisk it all together until it’s nice and mixed. Now, dip your bread slices into this yummy mixture, making sure both sides get coated.
The Perfect Flip
Once your bread is soaking up all that eggy goodness, it’s time to cook! Heat up a skillet or pan on the stove over medium heat. Add a bit of butter or oil to keep the French Toast from sticking. Carefully place your soaked bread in the hot pan and let it cook for a few minutes until it’s golden brown. Then, using a spatula, give it a gentle flip to cook the other side. Voilà! Your French Toast is ready to be enjoyed!
