This easy French Toast recipe is the perfect dish to wake up to.<\/p>\n

Thick slices of bread are dipped in a vanilla custard mixture and cooked until golden. Top with maple syrup or fruit. <\/p>\n

\"pouring<\/figure>\n

French Toast is not a French recipe; it\u2019s claimed to be a Roman recipe made from bread soaked in milk and then fried. Known in France as \u201cpain perdu\u201d (lost bread), it\u2019s a perfect weekend breakfast.<\/p>\n

Ingredients for French Toast<\/h2>\n

This French Toast recipe starts with a custard (milk & eggs) and warm spices. Bread is dipped in the eggy batter and baked or fried to fluffy perfection.<\/p>\n

The Best Bread for French Toast<\/h3>\n

French toast can be made with any<\/strong> type of bread<\/strong>. I prefer to use thicker slices of artisan bread \u2013 try brioche, French bread, or challah. If using a thinner bread (like sandwich bread) be sure not to oversoak it in the egg mixture.<\/p>\n

Day-old bread (that is slightly dry) will soak up more of the custard mixture. <\/p>\n

Other Ingredients<\/h3>\n

Eggs & Milk:<\/strong> Eggs and milk are used to create the custard. Change it up by replacing the milk with other liquids (like dairy-free milk such as oat or almond milk, or even eggnog<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Sugar:<\/strong> Sweeten the milk mixture with a bit of sugar or brown sugar.<\/p>\n

Flavor: <\/strong>Vanilla & cinnamon flavor the custard mixture. Try other extracts or warm spices like ginger, nutmeg, or pumpkin pie spice<\/a>.<\/p>\n
