What is better on Sunday morning than French toast? It takes advantage of leftover bread from Saturday night’s dinner, and everybody loves it. It is also probably the easiest breakfast to make, next to cereal and milk.
Do you really need a recipe for French toast? Maybe the first time you make it. After that, you’ll probably have the recipe memorized, and you can play with flavor variations. I like to add vanilla extract and spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. A little orange juice is also tasty.
French Toast
Yields: 2 servings
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup milk or half-and-half
- ½ tsp. vanilla extract (optional)
- Cinnamon or nutmeg to taste (optional)
- 4 thick slices of day-old bread — French and Italian bread work well
- 1 tbsp. butter
Beat together the eggs and milk. Whisk in the vanilla and seasonings. Melt the butter in a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Dip the bread slices in the batter. Fry the bread in the butter until browned on each side. Serve with syrup or powdered sugar.
For a fancier breakfast, make a French toast sandwich. Put cream cheese and jam, broiled banana slices or sauteed apple slices between 2 slices of battered bread. Cook like a grilled cheese sandwich.

We always joke about making French Toast when we get snowed in because everyone runs to the store for milk, eggs and bread as soon as they hear a storm is coming.
We haven’t had a good storm in a while, so I might have to break out the French Toast for breakfast this weekend! Yum!
Ha ha, that always happens here too. Personally, I’d rather stock up on wine and cheese.

Stuffed French Toast is the way forward! Tasty whatever the weather!
Hmm, I may have to consider this recipe.
MY WIFE MAKES FRENCH TOAST A LOT FOR SUNDAYS BREAKFAST, ONE TIME SHE TRIED SOAKING THE BREAD IN EGG-NOG IT WAS GOOD BUT DIFFERANT
Excellent, this was just the recipe I was looking for — I didn’t think of adding banana, but I have some ripe ones lying around, so I’ll use them in breakfast tomorrow. I also add a bit of sugar to the milk/egg mixture.
Thanks for the French Toast Recipe. I will make this to surprise my family.
it tasted yummy with not only white bread but you guys have to try potato bread!!! you wont regret it!
is it okto make french toast with raisin bread
Sure, I think you can make french toast with just about any bread you like. Raisin bread would probably be very good.

Thank you for this recipe, this is the easiest, basic, tastiest one I have sound so far.
For a new father trying to change up morning breakfast for my 16 month old son, this was great, and he seemed to love it too.
I have always loved to cook. I still do now, I’m 15. I have cooked almost everything but French Toast. Wierd?
I really want to learn more and more. Thank u
[...] So this inspired me to make some French toast which I found a great recipe for at Simply Cooking blog. [...]
If you like Cinnamon I have a tip. Buy the best, freshest Cinnamon in whole sticks or pieces. go to a reputable spice shop that imports. Use a simple electric spice or nut grinder and grind the spice up fresh. it is like nothing you have tasted. The already powdered stuff in bottles tastes like sawdust by comparison. In general, once you powder any spice it exposes the area to air and the vital oils begin to oxidize immediately. If you are like me an most others, there are bottled spices in my rack older than my family members! Try fresh Cinnamon!
i havent tried it but im urging my familiy to let
me cook it im ten
this is perfect. im only 14 and i wanted to be able to make something for a really boring friday morning anyway. thankyou!!!
i added 1/3 cup of brown suger it made it alot better
It sounds good, although that’s probably more sugar than I’d care to eat. I bet it gave the toast a bit of a crust.
this recipe sounds weird
how hould it look cause mine is yellowish brown is that safe to eat
Does it also have a bitter taste? The color may be because you have the heat too high! it shouldn’t smoke or brown the butter (or oil) too fast. Turn down the heat to medium or lower and turn frequently.
About to make it now!!
Wish me luck! ,xx
I woke up this morning and wanted to make something new. This was my first time making French toast. This recipe was quick and easy!

I’ve never made french toast until now, and after I did make it, it didn’t look very yummy.. But when I actually age it, it was the best french toast ever.<3
This recipe sounds like my moms except she leaves out the cinnamon and once both sides are no longer soggy she spreads butter then sprinkles cinnamon one side then serves with syrup.
