Tips and FAQ
- Add nutmeg or a hint of vanilla extract to the milk mixture. Try with less or more cinnamon.
- Preheat your griddle or skillet and grease the cooking surface with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Use thick-cut bread or Texas toast. The thickness absorbs the mixture better, resulting in a flavorful center and a crispy exterior.
- To keep everything warm while cooking more slices, place the cooked French toast on a baking sheet in your oven heated to a low temperature.
- Sprinkle a little bit of powdered sugar on your French Toast.
Can I Make This Recipe ahead of time?
Yes, you can make French Toast in advance. Once it’s cooked, let it cool down and then put it in an airtight container in the fridge. To serve it, just heat it up in a toaster or oven until it’s warmed through.
Can I use regular bread?
If you don’t have Texas Toast, you can use regular bread. I do recommend using thick-cut bread for the best results.
How do I make my French Toast crispy?
For a perfectly crispy exterior, make sure to use medium heat and generously coat your pan with butter or oil when cooking.
