French Toast

Hi Everyone, a good, solid, basic French Toast recipe, is so great to have in one’s back pocket.

I love making this recipe on the weekends when our family has a little more time than we would to get together for breakfast/brunch.

You can top this French Toast recipe with just about any topping you want. I personally love maple syrup and seasonal fruit/berries – whipped cream is fantastic too!

My kiddos love this French Toast recipe and it’s a nice switch from waffles or pancakes.

French Toast was always my favorite breakfast when I was a kid, so, of course, I wanted my kids to love it too!

I love confectioner’s sugar lightly dusted on top.

I include a list of helpful kitchen tools listed in the recipe card at the end of the post (Amazon Affiliate links).

If there’s leftovers, you can keep them in an air tight container in the refrigerator and use it up within 1-2 days. French Toast is best served fresh, in my opinion.

Web Story

In the photos, I topped the French Toast with seasonal Wineberries (Japanese Raspberry) that grow in our yard.

I love 100% pure maple syrup and it’s delicious on this French Toast.
