French toast is one of those things that I've made so often, I don't usually look at a recipe. I'm trying to teach my son some basic dishes, good kitchen habits and how to read a recipe, so I searched the Taste of Home site and found this one for Vanilla French Toast.
We did make one minor substitution, which was using whole milk instead of 2%, it's what we always have on hand. We served it with some real NH maple syrup, and next time we'll probably add a bit of cinnamon to the egg mixture. I think he did a pretty good job! Thank you so much to Joe & Bobbi S for sharing the recipe!

ReplyDeleteNext he wants to try with caramel extract, I'm game for that!
DeleteFrench Toast is now of my favorite breakfast options! Everyone has their own take, but it always tastes great! -Jessica
ReplyDeleteI agree! I don't know if I've ever made it the same way twice, but I am always full and happy when the meal is over :)
DeleteI never actually knew how to make French Toast. I might give it a try tomorrow for breakfast!
ReplyDeleteOnce you get the method down, it's so easy to spin it how you like. Add cinnamon, change out the extract to almond, etc. :)
DeleteOne of my favorite classic dishes. I like mine with some whipped cream and bananas/strawberries.
ReplyDeleteSounds perfect to me!
