This easy French Toast recipe is the BEST, with
a thicker batter and cinnamon sugar flavors that
really set it apart. It’s one of our family’s favorite
breakfasts!

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.
