What is YOUR French Toast?

I know some of you eat/make French toast
.
My version of it is soaking bread into egg with cinnamon, cooking it in a pan, then serving it with maple syrup.
Mom dipped bread into egg, fried it, and sprinkled sugar on top.
A friend's mom made it with premade pancake batter and bread.
What is considered to be French toast in your home? I bet you know what we'll be having for breakfast today

I have never been a fan of French toast, but when I used to make it, when my daughter was still at home, I scrambled up an egg with a bit of mix and cinnamon, dip the bread, and then cook it up in butter in a skillet. Covered with butter, fruit, and syrup.

I cook mine exactly like yours. I really love to use French bread when I have it.

@much2say I think you’ll like it. I’ve used almond extract too.

@much2say I'd freeze some but no room in either freezer for that.

I do it the way you do it, but I have also sprinkled powdered sugar on top before as well.

@much2say It’s delicious either way…with syrup or with powdered sugar. Or with both! Lol

I use 1 egg for 1 piece of bread. Add almond milk whip it together, dip bread and soak it in mixture. Fry it up in olive oil & butter till nice & almost golden. Serve with maple syrup & bacon bits.

When I do it I scramble the eggs, put some cinnamon, brown sugar or regular sugar and also vanilla extract dip the bread into on both sides then fry them in the pan. The kids decided I’d they want powered sugar or syrup or both. I also have do this with gluten free bread with my young’s so his is done first and the stuff gets soaked up quickly and cooks quicker.

@much2say he doesn’t have a favorite brand of gluten free bread. He eats whatever we find at the store. He has been eating this way since the age of 2 so he isn’t picky.

@ShyBear88 That's awesome he is not picky! At one time we tried to find gluten free bread that suited our tastes, but many of them were just dry . . . I guess we're too picky.

I add a little milk into the beaten egg mixture, before cooking it. Usually, I sprinkle sugar on my French toast. Jay eats maple syrup on his.

@much2say I must be careful, not to add too much milk.

@kobesbuddy Ah, gets too soggy? Or is it lactose intolerance (that's me
).

@much2say Pretty eats all of those but I'm not a fan. French Toast that I've actually seen might still have raw egg inside the bread. I'll pass on that.

I know what you mean. But I don't get too grossed out over raw egg. I grew up on eating sukiyaki . . . simmered beef and vegetables - dipped in a bowl of scrambled raw egg before eating. Thus far I haven't gotten sick
. You must not like fried eggs that are runny - Hubby doesn't like that - but again, I grew up on that.

Soak it in egg, fry it then use some type of sugar in top or syrup. Growing up we didn't, couldn't use syrup just confectioners sugar in top.

@MarshaMusselman Oh syrup! I didn't grow up on the real stuff . . . we had Log Cabin or the like - the sugary concoction whatever that was

I used to be really basic, but I've refined it somewhat. Beaten eggs in a bowl, a tiny splash of milk but not much. Add cinnamon, about a teaspoon of real vanilla. Dunk it in and get it really saturated, then the hot skillet. Serve it with real maple syrup, none of that Log Cabin or it's followers. If you're going to go to all that trouble, eat the good syrup. Once you have it, you won't go back.

I've been reading up on what "real" French toast is supposed to be - it sounds a lot like yours! I am so lazy that I just beat the eggs (with a fork) on the plate I'm going to use to dunk the bread in
. Oh yes, the real deal maple syrup is a must. I grew up on the Log Cabin stuff and that's basically sugary goo with who knows what else is in it. Maple syrup sure is a whole lot more expensive but totally worth it (even has some real nutrients, I read!).

The real stuff tastes so much better. I can't even try to eat the fake stuff now, it just tastes bad to me.

@DianneN Ah, now I get it. My son gets that way about chocolate pudding . . . he had chocolate pudding one day and the next day he was sick (I think he had been getting sick anyway, it wasn't because of the pudding). But now he forever associates chocolate pudding with being sick.
