If I offered up breakfast options for a family vote, everyone would choose this classic French Toast recipe, served with fresh fruit, syrup and whipped cream! We’ve been making it for decades, and it’s truly the best french toast recipe!

How to Make French Toast:

Combine Ingredients: Add of the ingredients, except the bread, to a blender or shallow dish and mix to combine.

Dip Bread: Dip each bread slice into the egg mixture, dredging on both sides.

Cook: Place bread on hot greased griddle or large skillet. Cook for a few minutes on each side, until golden.

Serve: I love to serve this easy french toast warm, with homemade syrup and a side of berries!

Ingredients Notes:

Bread: I recommend using thick sliced bread, like Sara Lee Artesano, Texas Toast, or leftover homemade bread. It’s nice (but not necessary) if the bread is a few days old, or slightly stale. We also loving using thick slices of cinnamon bread or brioche!

Flour: My Secret Ingredient! The flour helps to make more of a “batter” for dipping the bread, which yields extra fluffy and delicious french toast. If mixing the batter by hand, start by mixing flour and eggs, then add the milk and remaining ingredients.

Milk: Any kind of milk will work (even dairy free), but the the higher fat milk, the creamier the batter will be. Whole milk works great and you could even add a little splash of cream if you want.

Make Ahead and Freezing Instructions:

To Make Ahead: The batter can be made 1-2 days ahead of time, depending on the freshness of your ingredients.

To Freeze: Allow french toast to cool completely and store in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months. Rewarm on a skillet, in the toaster, or for a few seconds in the microwave.
