This has to be one of our favorite, and most indulgent, breakfast dishes.\nSimply Recipes \/ Photo by Julia Gartland \/ Food Styling by Barrett Washburne\nBest Bread for French Toast\nFrench toast comes out best if you work with\nthick slices of French or Italian loaf bread that are several days old.\nThat way they've had a chance to firm up, which will make the slices hold up better when you dip them in the egg milk mixture and fry them.\nThin slices of fresh bread tend to fall apart or get mushy when you do this, making for lousy French toast.\nFrench Toast Additions\nPowdered Sugar:\nMany people love to sprinkle powdered sugar over their French toast! Personally, I think there's plenty enough sugar in the maple syrup, so I don't bother with adding more.\nOrange zest and Triple Sec:\nOne of my favorite variations, the idea for which I picked up from\nThe Silver Palate Cookbook\n20-some odd years ago, is to add some orange zest and a bit of Triple Sec orange\nliqueur to the batter\nfor extra zing.\nSimply Recipes \/ Photo by Julia Gartland \/ Food Styling by Barrett Washburne\nHow To Keep French Toast Warm\nPreheat your oven to 170°F, and place a baking sheet in it. Transfer cooked\nslices of French toast\nto the baking sheet in a single layer to keep warm as you're cooking additional slices. Do not place the slices on top of each other or they will get soggy.\nBest Toppings for French Toast\nThe classic topping for French toast is butter and maple syrup (or pancake syrup), but feel free to get creative with these toppings.

This has to be one of our favorite, and most indulgent, breakfast dishes.\n\nSimply Recipes \/ Photo by Julia Gartland \/ Food Styling by Barrett Washburne\n\n## Best Bread for French Toast\nFrench toast comes out best if you work with **thick slices of French or Italian loaf bread that are several days old.** That way they've had a chance to firm up, which will make the slices hold up better when you dip them in the egg milk mixture and fry them.\n\nThin slices of fresh bread tend to fall apart or get mushy when you do this, making for lousy French toast.\n\n## French Toast Additions\n- **Powdered Sugar:** Many people love to sprinkle powdered sugar over their French toast! Personally, I think there's plenty enough sugar in the maple syrup, so I don't bother with adding more.\n- **Orange zest and Triple Sec:** One of my favorite variations, the idea for which I picked up from [The Silver Palate Cookbook](https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/0894802046\/simplyrecip02-20) 20-some odd years ago, is to add some orange zest and a bit of Triple Sec orange [liqueur to the batter](https:\/\/www.simplyrecipes.com\/one-ingredient-upgrade-french-toast-11811354) for extra zing.\n\nSimply Recipes \/ Photo by Julia Gartland \/ Food Styling by Barrett Washburne\n\n## How To Keep French Toast Warm\nPreheat your oven to 170°F, and place a baking sheet in it. Transfer cooked [slices of French toast](https:\/\/www.simplyrecipes.com\/betty-crocker-french-toast-trick-11825907) to the baking sheet in a single layer to keep warm as you're cooking additional slices. Do not place the slices on top of each other or they will get soggy.\n\n## Best Toppings for French Toast\nThe classic topping for French toast is butter and maple syrup (or pancake syrup), but feel free to get creative with these toppings. Choose one or mix and match.\n\n- Chocolate chips\n- Ripe banana slices\n- Fresh berries like strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries\n- [Whipped cream](https:\/\/www.simplyrecipes.com\/recipes\/how_to_make_whipped_cream\/)\n- Lemon curd\n- Chocolate-hazelnut spread\n- Cinnamon sugar\n- [Apple butter](https:\/\/www.simplyrecipes.com\/recipes\/apple_butter\/)\n## More Ways to French Your Toast\n- [Honey Ricotta Stuffed French Toast](https:\/\/www.simplyrecipes.com\/recipes\/honey_ricotta_stuffed_french_toast\/)\n- [Slow Cooker French Toast Casserole](https:\/\/www.simplyrecipes.com\/recipes\/slow_cooker_french_toast_casserole\/)\n- [Eggnog French Toast](https:\/\/www.simplyrecipes.com\/recipes\/eggnog_french_toast\/)\n- [French Toast Casserole](https:\/\/www.simplyrecipes.com\/recipes\/french_toast_casserole\/)\n- [Blueberry French Toast Casserole](https:\/\/www.simplyrecipes.com\/recipes\/baked_blueberry_french_toast_casserole\/)\n\nKeep Screen Awake\n\n- 4 large eggs\n- 2\/3 cup milk\n- 2 teaspoons cinnamon\n- 8 thick slices 2-day-old bread (better if slightly stale)\n- Butter (can sub vegetable oil)\n- Maple syrup\n\nOptional\n\n- 2 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest\n- 1\/4 cup triple sec\n- Fresh berries\n\n1. Make the egg mixture:\n   In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and cinnamon. Stir in the orange zest and\/or triple sec if using. Whisk the mixture until well blended and pour into a shallow bowl, wide enough to place a slice of the bread you will be using.\n   Simply Recipes \/ Annika Panikker\n2. Soak the bread slices in egg mixture:\n   Place each slice of bread into the milk egg mixture, allowing the bread to soak in some of it.\n   Simply Recipes \/ Annika Panikker\n   Simply Recipes \/ Annika Panikker\n3. Fry the French toast:\n   Melt some butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Shake off the excess egg mixture from the bread and place the bread slices onto the hot skillet. Fry the French toast until browned on one side, then flip and brown the other side.\n   Simply Recipes \/ Annika Panikker\n   Simply Recipes \/ Annika Panikker\n4.

This has to be one of our favorite, and most indulgent, breakfast dishes. Simply Recipes / Photo by Julia Gartland / Food Styling by Barrett Washburne Best Bread for French Toast French toast comes out best if you work with thick slices of French or Italian loaf bread that are several days old. That way they've had a chance to firm up, which will make the slices hold up better when you dip them in the egg milk mixture and fry them. Thin slices of fresh bread tend to fall apart or get mushy when you do this, making for lousy French toast. French Toast Additions Powdered Sugar: Many people love to sprinkle powdered sugar over their French toast! Personally, I think there's plenty enough sugar in the maple syrup, so I don't bother with adding more. Orange zest and Triple Sec: One of my favorite variations, the idea for which I picked up from The Silver Palate Cookbook 20-some odd years ago, is to add some orange zest and a bit of Triple Sec orange liqueur to the batter for extra zing. Simply Recipes / Photo by Julia Gartland / Food Styling by Barrett Washburne How To Keep French Toast Warm Preheat your oven to 170°F, and place a baking sheet in it. Transfer cooked slices of French toast to the baking sheet in a single layer to keep warm as you're cooking additional slices. Do not place the slices on top of each other or they will get soggy. Best Toppings for French Toast The classic topping for French toast is butter and maple syrup (or pancake syrup), but feel free to get creative with these toppings. Choose one or mix and match.

Readable Markdown	Fluffy and tender inside, gloriously browned outside, this is the very best recipe for the brunch classic. By [Elise Bauer](https://www.simplyrecipes.com/elise-bauer-5091824) ![Elise Bauer](https://www.simplyrecipes.com/thmb/FMyKe-5TnomIYFYTCirr5QgKKh4=/200x200/filters:no_upscale\(\):max_bytes\(150000\):strip_icc\(\)/SRHeadshots-EliseBauer-5c36c598a88d4ba3bff66260a792ea47.jpg) Elise founded Simply Recipes in 2003 and led the site until 2019.

Is there nothing better than French toast for Sunday breakfast? Thick slices of bread, soaked in a mixture of beaten eggs with milk and cinnamon, toasted in a frying pan, and served with butter and maple syrup. This has to be one of our favorite, and most indulgent, breakfast dishes. Simply Recipes / Photo by Julia Gartland / Food Styling by Barrett Washburne ## Best Bread for French Toast French toast comes out best if you work with thick slices of French or Italian loaf bread that are several days old. That way they've had a chance to firm up, which will make the slices hold up better when you dip them in the egg milk mixture and fry them. Thin slices of fresh bread tend to fall apart or get mushy when you do this, making for lousy French toast. ## French Toast Additions - Powdered Sugar: Many people love to sprinkle powdered sugar over their French toast! Personally, I think there's plenty enough sugar in the maple syrup, so I don't bother with adding more. - Orange zest and Triple Sec: One of my favorite variations, the idea for which I picked up from [The Silver Palate Cookbook](https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0894802046/simplyrecip02-20) 20-some odd years ago, is to add some orange zest and a bit of Triple Sec orange [liqueur to the batter](https://www.simplyrecipes.com/one-ingredient-upgrade-french-toast-11811354) for extra zing. Simply Recipes / Photo by Julia Gartland / Food Styling by Barrett Washburne ## How To Keep French Toast Warm Preheat your oven to 170°F, and place a baking sheet in it. Transfer cooked [slices of French toast](https://www.simplyrecipes.com/betty-crocker-french-toast-trick-11825907) to the baking sheet in a single layer to keep warm as you're cooking additional slices. Do not place the slices on top of each other or they will get soggy. ## Best Toppings for French Toast The classic topping for French toast is butter and maple syrup (or pancake syrup), but feel free to get creative with these toppings. Choose one or mix and match. - Chocolate chips - Ripe banana slices - Fresh berries like strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries - [Whipped cream](https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/how_to_make_whipped_cream/) - Lemon curd - Chocolate-hazelnut spread - Cinnamon sugar - [Apple butter](https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/apple_butter/) ## More Ways to French Your Toast - [Honey Ricotta Stuffed French Toast](https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/honey_ricotta_stuffed_french_toast/) - [Slow Cooker French Toast Casserole](https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/slow_cooker_french_toast_casserole/) - [Eggnog French Toast](https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/eggnog_french_toast/) - [French Toast Casserole](https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/french_toast_casserole/) - [Blueberry French Toast Casserole](https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/baked_blueberry_french_toast_casserole/) Keep Screen Awake - 4 large eggs - 2/3 cup milk - 2 teaspoons cinnamon - 8 thick slices 2-day-old bread (better if slightly stale) - Butter (can sub vegetable oil) - Maple syrup Optional - 2 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest - 1/4 cup triple sec - Fresh berries 1. Make the egg mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and cinnamon. Stir in the orange zest and/or triple sec if using. Whisk the mixture until well blended and pour into a shallow bowl, wide enough to place a slice of the bread you will be using. Simply Recipes / Annika Panikker 2. Soak the bread slices in egg mixture: Place each slice of bread into the milk egg mixture, allowing the bread to soak in some of it. Simply Recipes / Annika Panikker Simply Recipes / Annika Panikker 3. Fry the French toast: Melt some butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Shake off the excess egg mixture from the bread and place the bread slices onto the hot skillet. Fry the French toast until browned on one side, then flip and brown the other side. Simply Recipes / Annika Panikker Simply Recipes / Annika Panikker 4. Serve: Serve the French toast hot with butter, maple syrup, and/or fresh berries. Did you love this recipe?
