About this recipe

French toast is a classic breakfast dish that’s all about simplicity and comfort. In this video, Crouton Crackerjacks shows us how to make it quick and easy, using just a handful of ingredients you probably already have at home.

This recipe focuses on using thick-cut Texas toast, which gives the French toast a hearty texture and helps it hold up against the egg mixture without getting soggy. It's all about keeping it straightforward and delicious!

Ingredient notes

1/4 cup of milk is approximately 60 ml.
A splash of vanilla extract is estimated, so use your judgment.

Tips from Crouton Crackerjacks's video

Use a pie plate for the egg mixture; it's easier to coat the bread in a wide shallow bowl.
Don't soak the bread; just quickly dip it in the egg mixture to avoid a custardy texture.
Heat the pan until the milk solids in the butter start to brown for the best cooking results.
