French toast does not have to be a special weekend meal. Make a double batch and freeze to throw into a toaster and serve mid-week, or pack it for a school lunch.
Everyday French toast is for every day of the week, or any day of the week if you don’t want to get sick of it. There is something about the texture of the egg-dipped toast that makes it feel like clouds in your mouth.Â
I rarely ate French toast before having kids. Making such an elaborate breakfast seemed like too much work in the mornings. Somehow, now that I am busier than ever, I always seem to find time to make this delicious breakfast.Â
With that said, it’s still just a weekend endeavor. I make a double batch on the weekend and freeze the rest for a really easy breakfast on a weekday. Just nuke the frozen French toast in the microwave then pop it in a toaster and voila! French toast on the table in less than a few minutes.Â
Preparing Everyday Frech Toast
Ingredients
Bread: Bread is made from water and flour, and sometimes other ingredients, and is baked as a loaf. It comes in many different varieties, shapes and sizes. It’s most commonly made from wheat however there are many different flours that yield delicious bread. Out favourites for this recipe are toast bread and rye bread, but sourdough is also at the top of the list.
Milk: I use full fat (3.25%) or partly skimmed (2%) cow’s milk for this recipe. The milk makes the toast more fluffy.
Eggs: Eggs are laid by many different animals but chicken eggs are the star of this recipe. Eggs provide protein, fat and many other nutrients and therefore are a healthy part of our diet.
Brown sugar: Brown sugar is a mixture of white sugar and molasses. Molasses is responsible for the darker color.
Cinnamon: Cinnamon is a spice that is actually made out of the inner bark of the tree. You can commonly buy cinnamon sticks or ground cinnamon. This recipe calls for ground cinnamon.
Vanilla: Pure vanilla extract is made by soaking vanilla bean in water and ethyl alcohol. You can get pure vanilla extract or vanilla extract flavour. The latter may be made from synthetic vanillin to mimic the flavour. There is no preference in this recipe but know that imitation vanilla is usually more budget-friendly than pure vanilla.
Coconut oil: Coconut oil is one of my secret ingredients in this recipe, even though it’s just used for frying. Though the flavour is quite subtle it adds just enough to elevate the overall taste of the French toast.
