Great French Toast Recipe

[YogiT]

But most restaurants fail to do with french toast is soak it. Yep, that's the key. And using Challah bread.

I use either milk/hemp milk, two eggs to two pieces of Challah bread cut fairly thick, and a lot of cinammon. I mix the cinammon in the egg/milk mixture, put the bread in and keep turning it. Each time I turn it, I put cinammon on the bread. I stop putting cinammon when I flip the bread and it looks dark with the cinammon. I soak the bread until it is almost soggy. Probably a good twenty or so. Then cook her up.

YES! this is how I make my french toast! I hate when the egg mixture isn't throughout the bread or if it is too soggy. I like to make mine a little more well done and it helps to create a crust with a lot of cinnamon.

Yummm! You gals are making me hungry. My mom used to make French toast a lot when we were growing up. With Wonder bread and lots of cinnamon, butter & maple syrup on top. Oh my, was that good, but not very healthy. I haven't even thought of making it in years. With my DH's whole-grain bread, it would be better for me. I gotta make some on the weekend sometime - thanks for the inspiration!

Ha! My mom used to make it for us with wonder bread too and I hated it! It wasn't until I tried it on my own with a more substantial bread that I learned to like french toast. Same thing with PB&J, actually. Turns out, I just hated wonder bread.

Tulip's version sounds awesome. Again, I'm wanting to have her cook for me! Yum!!

My mother never let us eat WonderBread. Being a hippie mom, she always made her own whole wheat bread, and I hated it! Now look at me, though...baking my own bread and eating brown rice and kale, the whole works. Just like Mom taught me. It just took a while to sink in.

GLC, I'd love to come to your place, work in your garden, and cook up a storm! One of these days I might show up at your door, with a bottle of bourbon for the French toast, of course.

Hmm, we made our baked french toast (much lower fat than fried) with challah last week and neither of us liked it. Too tender and too rich. Just kind of turned into mush.

Now, boule and striata or any kind of toothy bread, yum. Thick cut cinnamon raisin bread is good too.

And when you bake french toast you can add yummy sinful toppings (like pecan caramel) or stuff the toast with lemon curd and ricotta.

I use heavy cream and cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg. YUM!!!!

I have a recipe for French Toast Casserole i got from foodtv.com. OMG it is sooooo GOOD. You let it soak all night and bake it in the morning. So yummy.

Would bread pudding by any other name taste as sweet?
