French Toast Recipe

French toast is one of those classic breakfasts that never gets old. It’s quick to make, incredibly comforting, and a perfect way to use up bread that’s a little past its prime. In this recipe I’m sharing my simple basic French toast recipe that turns slices of bread into soft, custardy centers with perfectly golden edges. Serve them with fresh fruit, powdered sugar, or a drizzle of honey for an easy breakfast or brunch.
