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. 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!
Mom's French Toast Ingredients
- Eggs (I used home eggs)
- Organic sugar
- Sea salt
- Vanilla extract
- French bread (I like to use homemade French bread)
- Unsalted butter
- Organic maple syrup
- Fresh fruit for topping
Mom's French Toast Recipe Instructions
Slice a loaf of French Bread into thick slices.
Beat eggs, sugar, sea salt, and pure vanilla extract with a hand whisker until well combined and sugar dissolved.
Mom's French Toast Recipe Frying Instructions
Heat a medium-size frying pan to low/med. Add ¼ tsp. (0.6 g) butter. Dip each side of a bread slice into the egg mixture and place it in the center of the heated pan. 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.)
Remove from the pan and onto a serving platter. Adorn with fresh fruit, and drizzle organic maple syrup or raw honey for an irresistible morning greeting or afternoon brunch!

OMG! Now I know what I am going to make for breakfast this Sunday!
Your presentation is stunning!!!
Thank you kindly! Let me know how you like it 🙂
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.
That's amazing! I love these french toasts very much. Thank you for your feedback!
