What is your favorite breakfast food? Mine is Classic French Toast, for sure. The other night, we were having breakfast for dinner (which the kids love) and my daughter suggested French Toast instead of pancakes this time.

She didn’t have to ask me twice. I immediately looked in my grandma’s cookbook for the recipe. It is slightly different than what my mom used to make so I adapted it to make it my own.

The French Toast recipe from my grandma did not have any cinnamon, so I made sure to add some. It didn’t call for vanilla either and I wish I would have added some. Maybe next time.

Ingredients

  • Milk
  • Eggs
  • Salt
  • Bread
  • Cinnamon

Equipment You May Need

  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Mixing bowl
  • Wooden spoon
  • Tongs
  • Griddle

Helpful Tips

  • Use actual French bread and let it sit out for a day or two so it’s a little dry.
  • When dipping the bread in the egg mix, it is easiest to use tongs.
  • I also like to use a large bowl with a wide bottom so the bread can fully soak.
  • To cook the toast, I like to use a griddle pan on the stove.
