This fluffy french toast looks amazing! I love using Egglands Best Eggs too! They are my favorite.
YUM! I can't wait to try this recipe! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
This looks so good!! It's been ages since I have had French toast. I think I need to have some soon!
I am the only one here that loves french toast – can these be frozen after cooking?
I've frozen french toast before and and you can either microwave it or warm them in the toaster. 😉
Found this via Pinterest and just thought I'd tell you that if you put in the flour first, make a well in the middle and then whisk in the eggs followed by the milk – you won't get any lumps. Works for all batters, pancake, waffle etc.
Great tip!!
I was looking for a different way to make French toast this morning and found your recipe. I followed the recipe exactly and would not use the word fluffy in the title. My batter was rather thick and the toast was dense and heavy. It tasted very good but the heaviness of the bread was a bit much for my taste. The batter doesn't soak into the bread like my thin runny egg dip so the flavor is really on surface of bread. The positive is the taste is very good but the negative is the heaviness of the bread being encased in this thick batter. Maybe if I try again I would add an extra egg, less flour, or more milk.
Thanks JBL for stopping by and letting me know how it turned out for you.
Making me hungry! I will have to try this this weekend!
Thank you for sharing.
Claudia, I hope you get to make it and enjoy it as much as we do!
This recipe was fantastic! I couldn't find texas toast liked bread at Whole Foods, so I used Challah bread instead and it still came out wonderful! Thanks for the new brunch recipe!
Oh I bet that was fabulous! So glad you now have a new brunch recipe in your back pocket.
I'm 50/50 on this one! I made the batter exactly as directed and it felt like I was dipping my toast into pancake batter (SO THICK)… so I made a few pieces like this, and then added more milk and tried it that way too. The original was much less "soggy" but so dense, the more milk made the other pieces soggier, but more fluffy. I also added more cinnamon to the second batch. I liked adding the flour, it seemed to give a better distribution of the cinnamon but I'm torn about it being too much and then too little. I'll have to play with this recipe some more. But overall, very good!
After reading the reviews….I made a few changes to this recipe. I only used 1/2 cup bread flour and only 1 tsp baking powder, and I used 4 eggs instead of just 2 eggs. it wasn't to thick & my French toast turned out fluffy & perfect! I did as the recipe instructed & added my dry ingredients to the wet which left the batter a little lumpy but not thick….the lumps cook out. My French toast turned out fluffy & perfect! Only made 7 slices tho. ����������������
Awsome! that's all I have to say!!!! I made this recipe this morning for my kids, I made it exactly like the recipe calls for and all I did was add sprinkles and chocolate chips my kids devoured them!!!! Such a fantastic recipe thank you!
So glad it passed the test with the littles!
This recipe was fantastic!
So glad you enjoyed the recipe!
I had been looking for a good french toast recipe for quite a while. All of the others that I had tried came out extremely soggy. This recipe was perfect. I added more cinnamon and vanilla. Fantastic!
Yay! So glad they were perfect! A little extra cinnamon and vanilla never hurt anyone.
I used to eat soggy French toast all the time. And to be honest it really sucked. Never get an even layer of cinnamon either. 🙁 I've been using this recipe now for over a year and a half and it's always a hit. Plus it reheats well, so I cam eat all the left over. BONUS!! Thank you so much for making my Sunday (and every other day that ends in y) breakfast so much better 🙂
That is awesome Katelyn!! SO glad you are enjoying this recipe.
I made this French Toast beginning of the year and believe me everyone love it. Its my kids favorite too and is on our Saturday Brunch menu ???? they always tell people their mommy makes the best French Toast
I just made this, it was absolutely fabulous! I hardly ever cook but trying to get more creative so my kids think im cool haha! My toddler demolished his portion in no time. So excited to impress my husband sometime soon with this recipe. Thanks so much!
If only our kids knew just how cool we are! Keep on rocking it girl!
I decreased the amount of flour to 1/2 cup and kept the rest of the measurements the same. I thought it turned out great. The batter coated the bread but wasn’t too thick. I also used brioche toast from Trader Joe’s which I love.
Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe I tried it for the first time and it was love at first bite!!
I make something similar to this. I heat up a little veg. oil and fry it…it’s almost like a funnel cake! My grandma used to make it for me as a child. She’d take the left over batter and pour it into the warm oil and make a crepe! My hubby won’t eat French Toast any other way now!
My 10 yo daughter has a major sweet tooth. Recently, on a mini weekend trip, she picked out a restaurant for breakfast. She picked The Famous Toasteryy. We had never been there but it was a winner. She ordered the French toast and fell in live with it
For years I have been making her French toast but just never could perfect it. I found your recipe and thought I would give it a try and we all absolutely loved it. My daughter said how it was, not only, great tasting but also put it on an equal playing field with the French toast from The Famous Toastery. Needless to say, I have found the recipe that will be the go-to recipe for french toast. Thank you so much for helping and my search for a French toast recipe.
so good! love that the bread isn’t so eggy and wet inside, and the outside is the most beautiful color 🙂
My husband made this Fluffy French Toast for us this weekend and it was divine! We paired them with homemade butter pancake syrup. Pure bliss!! Great recipe and super easy! We made the following two changes: 3 tsp of sugar rather than 1 tsp and we used Sara Lee® Artesano™ Brioche Bread instead of Texas Toast. I highly recommend this recipe!!!
I absolutely love brioche bread – great choice!! And thanks for coming back to comment!
