We haven’t done a breakfast recipe in a while, so here’s an easy french toast recipe. There are no frills here, just good ol’ fashioned bread dipped in batter and perfectly browned on both sides.
The best breads for french toast are challah and french bread. They soak in all of the liquids while maintaining their structure. If you try to use normal sandwich bread, they tend to break down a lot easier. You want to use a hearty and thick bread.
Nothing says “I love you” like the smell of breakfast in the morning. It’s also my favorite meal to cook. On days that I work and leave the house before my DH, I even make him breakfast and leave it in the fridge for him to warm up when he wakes up.

French Toast is a great way to start the morning, but I rarely make it. I think I want to try it this weekend. My favorite way to eat french toast is with a little butter and syrup. Your version is mouthwatering.
I’m going to give this a try! It’s a tad bit fancier than my own version!
Thanks for sharing
no problem!
