I absolutely love breakfast recipes and food. Breakfast is probably my favorite meal or at least the food that is commonly eaten for breakfast. This easy French toast is so yummy and easy to make.

In this recipe, I will show you how to make amazing homemade easy French toast. Maybe you are more of a pancake fan? Maybe you like waffles the best? Or maybe you like to get a bit more classy with some yummy sweet crepes?

Either way, you should definitely give this french toast recipe a try. Who knows they may become your new favorite. If I can do it, you can do it. Let’s get started!

Step 1: Gather the ingredients

We only need a few ingredients for this easy French toast recipe. You will need the following:

• Bread – I like to use the thick “Texas Toast” style white bread, but this will work with any kind of bread.
• Egg – The egg is the main ingredient for the French toast.
• Milk – The milk thins out the batter, you can add a bit more or less depending on your tastes.
• Vanilla extract – The vanilla adds so much flavor and enhances the flavor of the other ingredients.
• Butter – Butter adds flavor.
• Cinnamon – This optional ingredient can be added to the batter to give it another depth of flavor.

Step 2: How to make this easy French toast recipe

Begin by adding the egg, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (optional) in a bowl. Mix the ingredients together with a fork until well combined. If you like a little less egg taste to you French toast add a bit more milk, up to 4 total tablespoons.

Step 3: Soak bread in batter

Now using clean hands, tongs, or gloves dip your bread into the batter on both sides and allow it to soak some of that batter up. I usually do this right next to the burner on the stove.

Step 4: Cook that yummy French toast

Take a skillet and heat it with medium heat on the stovetop. A nice flat griddle pan works great for these. Add some butter to the pan and allow it to coat the bottom. Then place the battered pieces of bread on the pan.

Allow the French toast to cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side until they get nice and golden brown. Use a spatula to flip them over. I like to add extra butter on the tops while they are still in the pan. Then remove them from the pan and put them on a plate.

Step 5: Finish them off with toppings

Now all you need to do is finish them with your favorite toppings. Some of my favorite toppings are maple syrup, powdered sugar, whipped cream, strawberries, and other fruit, etc. Enjoy! See I told you they were easy to make.
