Always Delicious French Toast

French toast with text

This French Toast recipe is sure to please. Whenever my kids have a

friend sleepover, we either make Pancakes or French toast. When I serve up my French toast, they are always coming back for more ๐Ÿ™‚

One of my daughter’s friends always chooses French Toast when she visits and once I asked her why & she replied, “I don’t know what you put in it, but yours is the BEST!”. It’s always super flattering when kids love the food you make ๐Ÿ™‚

So here’s my special recipe…

What you’ll need:

5-7 slices of breadย (I like to use Light Sourdough Rye or French bread, but any old bread will do)

3 Large Eggs

1/4 cup Milk

1/4 tsp Cinnamon

1/2 tsp Vanilla

1-2 tsps Butter or Bacon fat

 

What you’ll do:

I usually cook up some bacon to go with our breakfast, and because I’m a “waste not, want not” kinda gal, I use a bit of the bacon grease to oil theย pan I make the French toast in. It also gives a little bit of a bacon flavouring to the French toast. And I have yet to meet someone who doesn’t like bacon…

If you are making the French toast without bacon, use butter (not cooking oil or margarine… believe me, everything is better with butter).

Heat up your pan or griddle on Medium or just below.

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla.

Dip bread into the egg mixture. Do not soak the bread in it unless you like soggy French toast.ย My family doesn’t like soggy French toast, so I just dip it in until it is covered with the egg mixture and immediately place it on the heated pan/griddle. Cook about 1 minute or until the bottom side is golden brown, then flip it over. I usually lightly press down on the top of the French toast with the bottom of my flipper for a couple of seconds before flipping over.

Place on an oven safe dish and keep warm in the oven (set at 200ยฐ F) until all the French toast has been cooked.

Serve with Maple syrup drizzled on top, or you could try fruit, jam, whipped cream, or sprinkle on some icing sugar ๐Ÿ™‚

    French toast is very popular in our house, we actually had it for breakfast today! Our recipes are almost the same too except we don’t use maple syrup on top, we just put some sugar in the egg and milk mixture.

      Thanks for your suggestion Salma. I’m gonna have to try adding sugar to the egg mixture, although I’m pretty sure my kids will still want their maple syrup ๐Ÿ˜‰

    That’s similar to the recipe I’ve been using for years – it is so very tasty – I use stale sourdough for ours – and sometimes push in dried blueberries – Well, dang, I’m just going to have to make some now! Big smiles ๐Ÿ™‚

    Looks like a yummy recipe and since we have all these ingredients and we have a “no school” day tomorrow, I think I know what’s for breakfast. Thanks for sharing!
