French Toast

This thick and fluffy french toast is dipped in a spiced mixture of nutmeg, cinnamon, and maple syrup then pan-fried to a delicate golden brown. This will be your new go-to recipe for easy 10-minute french toast!

Why this recipe works

Of all the breakfast classics out there next to buttermilk pancakes and breakfast casseroles, French toast stands out as one of the most comforting morning meals. Especially when smothered in sticky sweet maple syrup and a pat of butter.

Our French toast recipe uses thick-cut Texas toast bread that’s dipped into an egg, milk, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar mixture then transferred to a hot buttered skillet to sizzle away until it’s lightly crisp on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside.

Ingredient Info and Substitution Suggestions

BREAD – We like to use thick Texas toast, but Challah and Brioche are also popular options. You can even use regular white sandwich bread if you prefer. The thicker the slice, the better in our opinion!

1. In a medium bowl whisk together, eggs, milk, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar.
2. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, ensuring that the butter coats the entire bottom of the pan.
3. Place a slice of bread into the egg mixture and turn to coat both sides. Lift out of the mixture and allow the excess to drip off, then place in hot buttered skillet. Repeat for all bread slices.
4. Cook on the first side for about 2 minutes, or until nicely browned. Flip slices and cook an additional 2 minutes, or until golden brown.

Frequently Asked Questions & Expert Tips

Yes, you can easily freeze homemade french toast! I would recommend pre-cooking the French toast before freezing. Allow the french toast to fully cool before transferring to a large ziptop bag labeled with the date. Freeze for up to 2 months. To reheat, place the frozen French toast on a baking tray and warm it in the oven set to 400F for around 7-8 minutes OR simply pop the slices into a toaster or toaster oven.

Serving Suggestions

Aside from the obvious butter and syrup, try topping with a dusting of powdered sugar or fresh berries such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, bananas, or blackberries.

French toast is so versatile, opt for cinnamon honey butter, flavored syrups, Nutella, or peanut butter to switch it up a bit. Serve for breakfast or brunch along with a mimosa!
