    Mom's French Toast Recipe

    This Mom's French Toast Recipe is made out of homemade French bread slices dipped in a tasty combination of home-raised eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla mixture, sautéed in butter make them taste so scrumptious, pillow-soft, that melt in your mouth in sweet delight.

    It’s quite something that a common recipe such as French Toast would have such special attachments to many folks. This is one of those recipes that is very dear to me with so many childhood memories as well.

    This Mom's French Toast Recipe is made out of homemade French bread slices dipped in a tasty combination of home-raised eggs, sugar, salt, and vanilla mixture, sautéed in butter make them taste so scrumptious, pillow-soft, that melt in your mouth in sweet delight.

    When we lived in Ukraine, my mom made these out of white bread, and here in the US, with homemade French Bread and home-raised eggs.

    Making these for my own kids brings me back to a very early age in my childhood and reminds me of those sweet carefree days. As common as the recipe is, I passed on this particular ingredient combo to my kids and they love it better than most.

    This is a kind of breakfast or brunch we shouldn’t indulge in every day as they are pretty sweet. Every once in a while, especially when loaded with fruit and considered as our “something healthy,” it’s ok, right? Enjoy!

    ⏲️ Sautéing Time

    Mom's French Toast Recipe Frying Instructions

    1. Heat a medium-size frying pan to low/med. Add ¼ tsp. (0.6 g) butter.
    2. Dip each side of a bread slice into the egg mixture and place it in the center of the heated pan.
    3. Sauté for about a minute per side or until golden brown in color. Repeat these steps with each slice of bread. (Tip: For a faster process use a larger pan, ½ tbsp. (2.5 g) butter and fry 3 toasts at a time.)

    👩🏻‍🍳 FAQ's

    Why is my French toast always soggy in the middle?

    • To prevent the toast from being soggy I recommend slicing your bread thicker. Also, stale bread works best for the toast. If your bread is fresh I like to toast bread slices in the toaster before dipping them into the egg mixture.

    Can I use nut milk instead of dairy milk for French toast?

    • Absolutely! Almond milk can be used 1:1 in place of 2% milk and whole milk in this recipe. 

    Can I freeze French toast?

    • Yes, of course! Sautee French toast according to recipe instructions. Allow to cool on a wire rack. I prefer to wrap each individual French toast plastic food wrap or place inside a heavy-duty freezer bag and freeze for easier sercing thawing.

    How long does French toast last in the fridge?

    • Use the frozen French toast within 1 to 2 months for best quality and texture. Frech toast do get freezere burn and does not taste as good as fresh.

    How do you defrost frozen bread for French toast?

    • You can place preferred amount of slices of French toast into the fridge and let it thaw gradually overnight. If you in the rush you can defrost your French toast in the toaster oven for 20 minutes at 350 F.

      I'm curious if this is something that can be made in advance and frozen? Have you tried that? And at what point to freeze?

        Yes, absolutely! Once cooled, you may freeze them for a couple of weeks.

          We did this, froze a couple of the slices, then popped them into the toaster and it was just as good as when I made your recipe fresh.
