Sam, when I see recipes calling for equal parts heavy cream and milk, is it ok to use 1/2&1/2, equivalent to the combined volume of milk and cream? Thanks!

Decided to make this for breakfast this morning and it’s a winner! My kids are my critics and this one is a keeper. Thank you so much. Haven’t had negative feedback from my kids with the recipes I make.

Very delicious. Just what I feel French toast is supposed to be. My wife loved it. Thank you.

I am so glad you enjoyed it so much, Jamie! Completely from scratch scratch french toast sounds INCREDIBLE! Reading your comment made me hungry. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

OMG! Guess what?! We made your bread loaf yesterday (about to go leave a comment there, too) and then this morning, we sliced some thick slices and made your french toast! We made FROM SCRATCH french toast! We felt so fancy!!! This recipe is great. We basically split it in thirds, using just one egg, 2 tbsp + 2 tsp of half & half, eyeballed the vanilla (probably added too much, whoops, yum!) and a pinch of salt and went a little heavy on the sugar, using 2 tsp (1/3 would have been only 1.5 tsp). Also I LOVE cinnamon, so I eyeballed it and put probably a half teaspoon. We used just two pieces of bread, REALLY thick, and we drenched them, kept using the egg mixture until ALL of it was soaked into the toast. Then we cooked on low heat in unsalted butter, which we only now stock for your recipes, lol, but it was perfect for this! This was the best french toast we’ve ever had. Until I used your recipe, I was (a) never adding sugar to the egg mixture and (b) using WAY too little half & half (in the past I’d used the amount I would add for scrambled eggs). I am so glad we stumbled across your french toast recipe! I think the sugar helped make it a little crunchy on the outside, and as you know, your bread recipe makes really soft bread, so it was really lovely, the slight crunch on the outside, and the extra soft insides. We barely used any syrup at all, and most bites I ate as-is, with no syrup. YUMMMM.

Hi Amy! The french toast will still turn out, but it definitely won’t have as much flavor. 🙂

Hi, I am Amy and I love your french toast recipe. As I was making the recipe I saw that I did not have Vanilla Extract. Will it taste the same without?

Thank you so much for sharing, SCV! I will have to try it the next time I make it. 🙂

This is the way my family has always made it but we like to add a pinch of nutmeg.

On special occasions, Mom and Grandma would add a 1/4 of cup flour and a pinch of baking powder. that made them a little bit airy or fluffy but it sure is worth a try.

If you try it please let me know how you like it Sam I really like to know. Some of my family friends do and some don’t. 🙂

I’ve made French toast for many years with a recipe of my grandmother’s. I loved it, but this recipe including the heavy cream does something great to the recipe and my family and I absolutely love it! Thanks for posting!

At 47 years old I made French toast for the first time ever in my life today, thanks to you! I honestly never thought about how to make it. I only had French toast when I went out for breakfast. Followed your recipe and used the Texas cut bread (for a thicker slice) ….. GREAT!

I have always dissolved the cinnamon in the vanilla extract first, then added in the egg and milk. This step allows for the cinnamon to fully incorporate into the custard, and not “clump” up.
This was shown to me many years ago while working for Hyatt hotels.
Hope this helps.

Hi Sam,

I am going to have a French toast breakfast for my family this sat morning. I have been reading over some of the different ideas to cook the French toast.
My recipe is exactly like yours except for the heavy cream and I use brown sugar. This sat I have dicided to to omit the milk and use heavy cream,I think I will stick to the light brown sugar. And I have always cut bananas up laying beautifully on the side in syrup. I always make sausage patties to go with the toast.

Thanks for the heavy cream tip.

This has been the best recipe i have ever found. I used brioche bread to make this French toast and it tasted amazing. I’m going to bookmark this page for future reference. I can’t wait to make more.

Sounds like your stove may run a little hotter than mine. I’m glad you were able to figure it out and enjoy the french toast. 🙂

Good recipe but medium-high temp seems way too high. The butter starts to darken and toast gets black. I blackened a couple pieces then cooled the pan to medium-low and it came out nice and golden.
