This French toast recipe is so easy and delicious you will want to make it every morning.
You can adjust this recipe easily to serve as many as you want.
It is basically just one egg to every two slices of bread. Adjust the milk, sugar and spice accordingly.
I don’t know if the French actually make what we call French toast but if not, they should.
Here’s a tip to get the kids loving their breakfast. Cut the bread into long sticks or fun shapes before you dip it into the egg mixture. Give them a small bowl of sauce to dip the stick into and them them go. A bowl of applesauce is perfect.

Tips and Variations:
- Use either non-stick spray or a bit of oil to cook the toast. I like a bit of oil. It adds a nice crispness to the recipe.
- Use whatever bread you want for french toast. Obviously white bread works. Try it with a sweet egg bread, Italian or French crusty bread, cinnamon raisin bread, or multigrain breads.
- Try something really different! Make french toast using banana bread. What a taste treat. Great for Sunday brunch or to serve company.
