The Secret to Making Perfect French Toast
By the way You can use any kind of bread you like…my family prefers the thick white french bread…use what your family likes!
Ingredients:
- 5 eggs
- 2/3 Cup Milk (optional)
- 1/2 tsp . Vanilla ~ I love this Vanilla
- Cinnamon ~ optional
- Bread of your choice
Directions:
Thoroughly mix together the 5 eggs and 2/3 cup milk in a shallow bowl..like you were making scrambled eggs.
You can also add a 1/2 tsp. vanilla for a yummy flavor!
How to Keep Your French Toast from Being Soggy
SIMPLE SECRET REVEAL for PERFECT French Toast…Once you have your pan heated, drop bread into bowl and QUICKLY coat both sides of the bread with egg mixture. Put into pan immediately! DO NOT LET SOAK or it will get soggy…YUK!
Sprinkle with Cinnamon (if you like) and then cook in skillet until browned on each side.
So that’s it! You can cook up tons of this and flash freeze (simply means lay the french toast out on a cookie sheet and freeze. Then put them into a freezer bag and they won’t stick together!) Perfect for busy mornings!
You can even make little French Toast Sticks and freeze for the little ones to dip..that’s what my Grandson likes to do!
Psst..I use a Pizza Cutter to cut up the French Toast into strips 🙂 Makes it so much easier and quick than just using a knife!

I am NOT good at making French Toast. And now I know why…I soak my bread in the egg mixture. Ugh no wonder it’s always disgusting. Thank you! I also didn’t know that you could freeze French Toast. What a great idea for back to school!
Hi Stephanie! Awww that super little secret can make all the difference in the world! Dip, dip…boom! Yep you can totally freeze French Toast…it’s best if you flash freeze it, then put it into a freezer bag, then it doesn’t stick together! Have a great day!
The beauty of French Toast is that it’s one of those quick, tasty meals that uses up something that would otherwise be thrown away — bread that’s tasting a bit stale, and no one wants to make a sandwich of it. I love food like this — the quickness, the cheapness, and the tastiness. Nice combo.
Hummm — I’ll try it your way, but I have always wanted the eggs to soak clear through the bread, then cook it slowly so it is done clear through. I didn’t want plain bread in the middle. (more egg, less bread in other words.) You have great pictures here. Thanks. (found from Pinterest.)
This looks very yummy Shari, I have not had french toast in a long time…until this morning. Thank you for sharing. 🙂

Hi Shari, I love french toast! One of the best tips i ever got was from my brother-in-law who says, cook in skillet on low with LOTS of butter. He let them sit in the skillet for a l o n g time, flipping them often. It about killed us to wait for them. They smelled so good. But when he finally pulled them out… omgosh, they were the best i had ever eaten. Now im hungry. I think i will go make some. BTW. My husband also makes up waffles and pancakes, flash freezes them for easy morning breakfasts! 🙂

Hey Cindy! Hope you had a blessed weekend! I’m probably as old as your Mum 🙂 Your blog is great and it inspired me to think about getting out my crochet stuff! Thank you and blessings!
My family loves to eat french toast, and you are so right. If you soak the bread, it does become soggy. You’ve got to coat it quickly.
Yuk..for soggy French Toast! LOL
