    I like to add a little vanilla extract as well as fenugreek seasoning. The fenugreek gives it a maple flavoring.

    French toast is a sure way of getting my children out of bed, and on time for school. It's got to be eaten with syrup!

    Cool Lens, I suddenly feel like having French Toast. Instead of using milk, try orange juice; think about it.

    French toast is one of my favorite things to make. I make a great french toast casserole, but these look good too. Thanks

    French toast is a delicious weekend breakfast treat for me. I like to use fresh challah bread and a mix of honey and maple syrup for the sauce. A little dash of cinnamon gives it a nice little kick too.

    Yummm. Honestly, I have never made French Toast in a way that I deemed great...yet. I am loving the tips in this comment section though!

    My secret is that, as a Belgian, I prepare the original recipe: milk, beaten eggs, frying sliced bread is a very small amount of butter and then spread icing sugar on the fried slices. That's it.
    Why do they add butter on the sliced once cooked? It's horrible! And so bad for the health!
    By the way, the original recipe is called "pain perdu"; which could translate into "leftover bread" or so ;)
    Excellent recipe page!

    when i was pregnant i had a dream that i was making 'waffle toast' pretty much just french toast that you cook in a waffle iron and woke up thinking that i had just invented a new breakfast idea...then i googled it. just kidding i didnt invent anything... but it was okay because i made it for breakfast and it was awesome! this looks like a great recipe too! i will have to try this one out :)
  • bt55 Nov 24, 2010 @ 6:50 pm | delete
    We like it with cinnamon and just a little vanilla in the batter. Dust the tops with powdered sugar And don't forget a weee dollop of whipped cream on top. MMMM!

    I love French Toast, and even though it's easy to make, I don't make it often. Love your photos - made me hungry too. ;-) Not sure I'd be adventurous to go outside the classic goodness, though I would try the blueberry syrup. Yummy lens!
  • Squidster Sep 13, 2010 @ 3:06 pm | delete
    I'm hungry now! For convenience' sake I use those frozen ones from the grocery during the week, but nothing beats the scent of freshly made french toast wafting through the house on Sunday mornings.
  • hlkljgk Sep 9, 2010 @ 1:23 pm | delete
    i like to add cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. and of course, being a new englander, pure maple syrup is the only way to truly enjoy french toast. :)
  • lemonsqueezy Sep 9, 2010 @ 12:56 pm | delete
    Stale, dry bread soaks up the most batter? Wow... I didn't know that. I always try to use fresh bread. Thanks for the tip.
  • WindyWinters Jul 23, 2010 @ 2:05 pm | delete
    Wow! I didn't realize there was actually a recipe for French Toast. I just wing it and add milk, eggs and sprinkle with cinnamon. The flat griddle makes sense and would probably work a lot better than a frying pan. I will have to try some of these recipes! Thank you!
  • puzzlemaker Jun 10, 2010 @ 5:53 am | delete
    I made French Toast yesterday morning. It was rather plain, but (like you said) still good. Matter of fact I've never ventured out in the realm of more interesting French Toast varities. Perhaps it's time. I'm bookmarking this one.

    I was just looking for a great French Toast recipe after reading one of Joanne Fluke's mysteries. She incorporates recipes into her plots and made a French Toast breakfast sound so good but hadn't included the recipe. So thanks so much for this lens and the yummy recipes!

    Nothing better than some yummy French toast in the morning to start the day right. This lens inspired me to do some tomorrow for breakfast :)

    French Toast is the meal and dessert in one! We have discover a new baker that makes a cranberry-wild rice bread, he told us about making French Toast with it--oh, so good! We've had it five times! Butter and a little 100% maple syrup are my picks.
