In this post I’ll be sharing a delicious French Toast Breakfast Recipe.
Ooo La La! French Toast, a breakfast or brunch favorite by many. If you’ve never had it, French Toast is just bread that has been soaked in an egg custard then toasted. It’s easy to make.
Preparing French Toast successfully depends on the type of bread that you choose. That’s my opinion anyways. You’ll want to use bread that can stand up to be soaked in the egg custard without falling apart as you try to move it into your skillet.
Challah bread works beautifully for making French Toast. I’ve had friends to tell me that they also like brioche bread for French toast.
Ingredients
- A loaf Egg Bread (also called Challah) , you can use Texas Toast bread if you prefer
- An Egg
- Half & Half, if you don’t have half & half you can use 1/2 c Milk and 1/2 c Heavy Cream
- Vanilla Extract
- Pinch of Salt
- Dash of Cinnamon (optional)
- Pure Maple Syrup
- Powdered Sugar (optional)

Classic French Toast Recipe

French toast is a delicious breakfast treat and easy to prepare.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Egg Bread (Challah)
- 1 Egg
- 1 c Half & Half
- 1/8 tsp Vanilla
- Pinch of Salt
- Dash of Cinnamon (optional)
- Pure Maple Syrup
- Powdered Sugar (optional)
Instructions
- The evening before making French toast; slice off 1″ pieces of the challah bread and place on a sheet pan. Allow the bread slices to sit out overnight to dry out some.
Preparing the French Toast
- In a mixing bowl; beat one egg then add one cup of half and half and mix to combine. Next, add the vanilla extract and cinnamon and combine into a custard mixture.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Heat a skillet over medium. Add a pat of butter and allow it to melt.
- Soak each slice of bread in the custard mixture on each side allowing it to absorb the custard mixture. Transfer the soaked bread slice to the skillet and cook until browned on each side, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the toasted slices to a baking sheet.
- Place the French toast into the oven and bake 5-8 minutes to ensure doneness of the custard.
- Serve with maple syrup, if desired.
Notes
French toast may also be served with fresh fruit, jams, confectioner's sugar or whipped cream, if desired.
Wait to soak the bread slices right before placing them into the skillet.
Custard recipe may be doubled if making more than 4 servings.
