Ingredients
  

For the Mini French Toast
  • 1 cup strawberries sliced; fresh is best
  • 2 teaspoons white sugar for macerating strawberries
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons milk whole or low-fat
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1-2 tablespoons unsalted butter for cooking
  • 10 slices baguette 3 cm thick slices
To Serve
  • maple syrup for drizzling
  • confectioners' sugar optional for dusting
  • extra strawberries optional for serving

Method
 

  1. Place sliced strawberries in a small bowl. Sprinkle with sugar, toss gently, and let sit for 10–15 minutes until syrupy.
  2. Whisk eggs, milk, and salt lightly in a shallow bowl until just combined.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter until lightly foaming.
  4. Dip each baguette slice into the custard for about 3 seconds per side, coating without soaking.
  5. Place dipped slices into the hot pan. Cook for about 2½ minutes per side, until deep golden and crisp. Avoid overcrowding.
  6. Serve the mini French toasts warm with macerated strawberries and their syrup, plus maple syrup and confectioners’ sugar if desired.

Notes

Use slightly stale baguette for the best texture. For a flavored twist, add vanilla or cinnamon to the custard. If slices brown too quickly, lower the heat. Strawberries are best freshly macerated—store leftovers separately.
