How to Make French Toast Easy?
Follow these easy steps and the result will be delicious, fluffy and tender from the inside and gloriously browned from the outside French Toast in a few minutes.
- Take a bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and cinnamon until mixed perfectly. Add in the orange zest if using and whisk the mixture until well blended. Add the mixture into a shallow bowl which should be wide enough to fit the slice of bread.
- Now place the slice of bread into the mixture you already prepared. Let the bread sit there for a few seconds to soak in some of the mixture.
- Take a large skillet, melt some butter over medium heat and place the soaked slice of bread onto the hot skillet. Fry the bread slice until browned and flip it to brown the other side. Once perfectly browned to your desired doneness, take it out.

Which is the best bread for French Toast?
You can use any bread available however, it comes out best if you have French or Italian loaf bread especially several days old. Thick slices hold up better when you dip them into the egg milk mixture and fry them. On the contrary, thinner slices are prone to falling apart or get mushy. Nobody likes lousy French toast.
Sprinkle Powdered Sugar
Many people love to sprinkle powdered sugar over their toast. Personally, I think there is already ample sugar in the maple syrup so adding more sugar is not a nice idea. However, if you like sugar-sprinkled French toast, sure!
How to keep French Toast Warm
You often noticed, while you fry additional slices of French toast, the previous ones get cold. So how do you keep your French toast warm until you are done cooking?
Preheat your oven to 170F and place a baking sheet in it. Transfer cooked slices to the baking sheet to keep them warm while you cook the remainder of the slices. Also, do not place the slices on top of each other as they will get soggy.
What is the best topping for French Toast?
The most common and my favorite topping for French toast is butter and maple syrup, but you can get all creative you want. You can serve French toast with chocolate chips, banana slices, strawberries, blueberries and raspberries, whipped cream, lemon curd, chocolate hazelnut spread, cinnamon sugar, and apple butter.
