French Toast

French toast is the easiest fancy breakfast you can make! Slices of bread dunked in a rich egg custard with vanilla and cinnamon, drenched in maple syrup, and topped with fresh berries. This recipe makes the ultimate weekend brunch treat that you can whip up in just a few minutes!

When you’re looking for a lazy weekend treat without the effort French Toast is always a winner. It’s easy, it’s quick and it’s utterly delicious and decadent. What I love most about it is that it’s so easy to customize and there is an endless amount of toppings so it never gets boring. My easy French toast recipe uses a rich egg custard that’s soaked up into the bread, flavored with vanilla and cinnamon then pan-fried in plenty of butter so it’s soft and fluffy on the inside but perfectly golden and crisp on the outside.

One of my most favorites foods! When I was little, my father told me that he invented French toast. I thought that was the best thing ever...still love that old man

[elizabethulloa]

3/4 cup whole milk
4 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons vanilla
8 slices of bread

Vanilla is a must and I also add a little butter flavoring, I let the bread dry out on the counter or even let it toast lightly in my toaster so it doesn't come out soggy. Looks delicious 😻

damn when i was a kid my mum used to dip it into egg and fry it and then top it with sugar, no wonder it didnt taste as good as it sounded😭

You do everything so well that I switch to your recipe no matter how long I've been making something and how satisfied I've been with my results previously. I just know your version will be the ultimate - and it always is. (My six-year-old son and I also appreciate your cheerful, easy-going personality; your husband and sons couldn't be luckier.) Can't wait for the cookbook!

I never tire of French toast. I like to make a big batch so that I have quick breakfast from the freezer (without the added cost and additives from packaged). Make sure you place a piece of wax paper between slices when freezing and freeze flat. Straight from the freezer I use the defrost button on the toaster and they come out perfectly. Oh if you have some fresh or frozen berries, warm them up in some maple syrup in the microwave. 😉

We love French toasts in our home so I tried out this recipe today and it was 1000% better than the ones I’ve tried! Such a hit! Thank you John ❤️

I honestly use this recipe multiple times a week. So easy and so good. Sometimes I add 1 tsp of fresh grated nutmeg as well.

[kaaynn-rn]

I just made this and it’s so good! It tastes like the frozen french toast you’d get from a grocery story, but even better. I cut the amount of sugar and cinnamon and it still hit the spot great. (Only used 1/5 cup of sugar and 1/4 tsp of cinnamon). I definitely recommend using the given amount of cinnamon, I didn’t taste much of it.

[adriennemcmillan]

I always add a sprinkle of cinnamon on each slice when I put it in the pan. The later slices never have enough cinnamon compared to the first few 😂

[katherinetaylor]

I still say you need to put out a cookbook!!!!

Sooo... whenever I make something from your channel, everybody goes crazy! First was apple pie, pancakes, pizza, chocolate cheesecake, etc... I trust your channel only! I made so many recipes and everybody is amazed by the final result. I always say how I made it by following your recipes. And also, I'm a newlywed girl who doesn't have so much coking experience! Thank you so much! Keep making these recipes! I can't get it enough!

I absolutely love French toast 😋 I'm actually making a french toast bake today that is super easy and delicious. It's basically bread pudding. I cube a whole loaf of cinnamon brioche and put it in my butter lined baking dish. Then i slice up some smoky breakfast sausage (Eckrich brand fully cooked ) and mix it in. Then I add a couple handfuls of frozen wild blueberries in the mix. And then prepare the custard with cinnamon and a couple tablespoons of real maple syrup. Let it soak in a few minutes, then bake. Then I serve it with the maple syrup drizzled on. It is soooo good! I highly recommend it lol

[livyourjourney]

I've never made French toast a day in my life, but ended up trying this recipe today. Now I'm the family's champion lmao. I used French bread and it is DELICIOUS. Thank you so much!

[AQuarterBaked]

That sizzle sound was so satisfying lol

[liveesunflower]

I replaced regular sugar with brown sugar and it was absolutely divine!
