Ingredients
- 8 lices toast bread
- 2 eggs
- 250 ml milk
- pinch of salt
- 4 tablespoon melted butter and a neutral cooking oil (2 tablespoon of each - see notes)
- 4 teaspoons cinnamon sugar
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl or a plate, whisk the eggs then add the milk and salt.
- Dip each slice of bread in the egg mixture, allow to slightly soak, and then flip in order to coat both sides.
- Heat oil in a pan or skillet. Lift each slice of bread to drain as much of the egg-mixture as possible into the bowl, then place the slices on the pan.
- Fry on both sides under medium to low heat until golden brown then transfer the bread to a plate. Repeat the process for the remaining bread slices.
- Once done, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on top then serve.

Notes
- You may need to use a little bit more or less oil, depending on the type of pan you are using.
- A combination of butter and oil helps prevent the butter from burning too quickly. For the same reason, I recommend wiping your pan after each 1-2 batches.
- Storage and Freezing Instructions
- Feel free to prepare this German French toast recipe ahead (up to 30 minutes before serving). Simply arrange the bread slices on a baking tray in a single layer and keep warm in the oven at approximately 120°C (250°F).
- Regarding freezing, yes, you can make up a large batch of Arme Ritter and keep it in the freezer. To freeze, arrange the German French Toast slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze this for a few hours. Once the time is over, remove them from the freezer and transfer the slices to a freezer-friendly container. Keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.
