Your recipe for French toast surprises with a secret ingredient
Eva Longoria has perfected her French toast recipe. The actress shows the simple preparation on Instagram and surprises not only with a secret ingredient, but also with a top-class topping.
Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside and lots of cinnamon and sugar on top: that’s how we love our French toast. Actress and “Desperate Housewives” star Eva Longoria, 46, has now revealed her private recipe for the heavenly breakfast.
French toast: Bye, bye milk! Eva Longoria relies on a secret ingredient
“Today we’re making French toast because it’s my daughter’s favorite breakfast. It’s also my favorite – and my husband’s,” explains Longoria, before showing her community how to prepare her French toast step by step.
Something immediately catches the eye: the juicy toast slices are usually bathed in an egg-milk mixture before they land in the pan. Not so with the actress. She completely renounces the milk. A brilliant trick: this way the French toast becomes particularly crispy and does not soften too much. So that the breakfast classic remains juicy, Eva Longoria relies on her secret ingredient: a brioche instead of classic toast. She cuts this into extra thick slices.
