French Toast II

Recipe #3370 | 25 min | 10 min prep | SERVES 4 -6 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Cheryl Thebeau-Blevins

Here's the way French Toast has been made in my family for at least 4 generations - but until I got into high school, we called it "egg-bread", as my back-country French-American grandparents had. Everyone I make it for loves it!

Ingredients

  • loaf Texas toast thick bread, Sliced (1 lb.)
  • dozen egg
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • cup milk
  • teaspoon vanilla
  • tablespoons cinnamon, ground (more if needed)
  • butter or shortening, to grease skillet
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Whisk the eggs till frothy.
    2. 2
      Add remaining ingredients, and mix well.
    3. 3
      Over medium heat, lightly grease skillet with shortening (butter will burn very quickly, so exercise caution if using butter). I use a paper towel, so I can use it repeatedly, with every 2 or 3 pans of French toast. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, on both sides.
    4. 4
      Do this quickly, so as not to completely soak the bread.
    5. 5
      Cook in skillet over med/med-high heat for approx 5 min per side. You may need to flip more than once to get th e desired golden-brown color.
    6. 6
      Serve with butter and powdered sugar, or preserves (my favorite) or syrup.

    This is how I always make French Toast. Although I do use a pinch of salt and nutmeg and half the amount of cinnamon. Everyone has always loved it.

    We've made this several times and it always turns out great. We only use 1/2 the cinnamon and it is still delicious. Everyone cleans their plate. Great recipe.

    this is how my dad always made french toast, and i was shocked to hear my bf's parents and everyone else made it differently! i always scale it down to 2 people by using 5 slices bread, 2 eggs, 1/4 cup milk, 2tbsp sugar, 1/2 capful of vanilla, and cinnamon to taste. hope this helps!

    Easy and delicious! I halved the ingredients since it was only for the hubby and me, used regular wheat bread and forgot the vanilla, and it was still very good! Made 10 slices using 6 eggs.
