Classic French toast
This classic French Toast recipe is easy, uses simple pantry ingredients, and has a secret ingredient that makes a thicker batter with cinnamon sugar flavors that make it truly distinct. It’s one of our family’s favorite breakfasts!
Some of our other delicious breakfasts for the weekend include cookies and gravy, Eggs Benedict and Belgian waffles.
If I offered breakfast options for a family mood, everyone would choose this classic French Toast recipe, served with fresh fruit, syrup and whipped cream! We’ve been making it for decades!
How to make French toast:
- Add the ingredients, except the bread, to a blender as a shallow dish and mix well to combine.
- Dip the breadcrumbs into the egg mixture, dredging them on both sides.
- Place bread on hot preheated baking sheet or large skillet. Bake for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden. Serve hot, with our homemade syrup!
Ingredient notes:
Bôle: I love thick sliced breads, like Sara Lee Artesano, Texas Toast, or leftover homemade bread. It is nice (but not necessary) if the bread is a few days old, or a little stale. Try using cinnamon toast as a brioche!
Meal: My secret ingredient! The flour helps to make more of a “batter” for dipping the bread, which produces extra fluffy and delicious French toast. If you beat by hand, you may not be able to get the flour completely smooth, but the small mouth lumps will not do anything when the French toast is cooked. Otherwise, use a blender to mix everything until smooth, but do not mix it too much.
Milk: Any kind of milk will work (even dairy-free), but the higher the milk, the creamier the batter will be. Whole milk works great and you can even add a little splash of cream if you want.
Recipe Variations:
Create advance and freeze instructions:
Forward: The batter can be made 1-2 days ahead of time, depending on the freshness of your ingredients.
Freeze: Allow French toast to cool completely and store in a freezer-safe bag as a container for up to 3 months. Heat on a baking sheet, in the toaster, or for a few seconds in the microwave.

Recipe
Preheat grill to 350 degrees F or heat a pan over medium heat.
Add all the ingredients, except the bread, to a blender or to a shallow dish and mix well to combine. If it is beaten by hand, it is good if the flour does not mix completely smooth.
Dip bread slices into batter, batter well on both sides, and place on hot, greasy baking sheet or skillet.
Cook for a few minutes, until the bottom of the breadcrumbs starts to turn golden brown. Flip and cook on the other side the same.
- Remove to a plate. Serve hot with syrup and a sprinkle with powdered sugar.
