To be honest, I tend to fall somewhere in the middle. While I love a good <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/easy-buttermilk-biscuits\/\">buttermilk biscuit<\/a>, I also love <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/banana-muffins\/\">banana muffins<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/scone-recipe\/\">scones<\/a>. But today&#8217;s French toast recipe is by far one of my favorite sweeter options.<\/p>\n<p>One of the things that I love about this French toast is that it&#8217;s incredibly easy to throw together. This recipe also uses simple ingredients that you likely have in your pantry and refrigerator. You can even scale it down to make enough for two people or scale it up to make a larger batch for a crowd.<\/p>\n<p>This French toast works well with just about any kind of bread, so you can use whatever you have on hand. If you&#8217;re looking for a way to use up some old bread, this easy recipe is perfect for that too!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20583 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/French-Toast.jpg?resize=745%2C1118&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"The ingredients needed to make French toast sitting on a rustic gray surface.\" width=\"745\" height=\"1118\" data-pin-description=\"This French Toast is incredibly easy to make with just a few simple ingredients and turns out perfect every single time.

Let&#8217;s break down each ingredient and why they&#8217;re important to this recipe:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Bread:&nbsp;<\/strong>You can really use any kind of bread that you prefer, but it needs to be stale. I&#8217;ve found that leaving my bread out overnight so that it&#8217;s dry ensures that the French toast turns out perfect and not mushy. I really love to use Texas toast because it&#8217;s thick and soaks up the egg mixture well.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heavy Whipping Cream &amp; Whole Milk:<\/strong> I&#8217;ve tested this French toast with just milk and it was just okay. I&#8217;ve found that using a combination of heavy whipping cream and whole milk ensures a rich and delicious texture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Granulated Sugar:<\/strong>&nbsp;There are only 2 tablespoons of sugar in this recipe to add a little sweetness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla Extract &amp; Ground Cinnamon:&nbsp;<\/strong>These two ingredients add a little extra flavor to the French toast and really take it to the next level.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20575 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/French-Toast-1.jpg?resize=745%2C1118&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A baking pan filled with the egg mixture ready to dip the pieces of bread into before cooking.\" width=\"745\" height=\"1118\" data-pin-description=\"This French Toast is incredibly easy to make with just a few simple ingredients and turns out perfect every single time.

As I mentioned earlier, I suggest leaving your bread out overnight so that it&#8217;s stale. This will help ensure that your bread soaks up the mixture and prevent it from turning out soggy.<\/p>\n<p>Next, you&#8217;ll whisk together the eggs, heavy whipping cream, whole milk, and vanilla extract in a large shallow dish until they&#8217;re well combined. In a separate small mixing bowl, whisk together your sugar and ground cinnamon then mix it into the egg mixture. I find that whisking the sugar and ground cinnamon separately helps the cinnamon disperse better and you don&#8217;t end up with huge clumps.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20576 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/French-Toast-2.jpg?resize=745%2C1118&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A piece of bread being dipped into the egg mixture showing how it should be covered completely and soaked into the bread.\" width=\"745\" height=\"1118\" data-pin-description=\"This French Toast is incredibly easy to make with just a few simple ingredients and turns out perfect every single time.

This will help the bread absorb more of the custard so that it&#8217;s nice and creamy in the center and not dry.<\/p>\n<p>Then, just place the soaked bread on your heated skillet or griddle and cook until it&#8217;s golden brown on each side. Once all of the slices of bread are cooked, you can serve the French toast with some fresh fruit, pure maple syrup, or dust it with a little powdered sugar and enjoy!<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20578 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/French-Toast-4.jpg?resize=745%2C1118&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A close up image of French toast in a baking pan topped with halved strawberries.\" width=\"745\" height=\"1118\" data-pin-description=\"This French Toast is incredibly easy to make with just a few simple ingredients and turns out perfect every single time.

I&#8217;ve tested this recipe with French bread and sandwich bread, both worked great! Some other great options are challah or brioche bread.<\/p>\n<h3>How can I prevent it from becoming soggy?<\/h3>\n<p><strong><em>Here&#8217;s my number one tip<\/em><\/strong> <strong>&#8211;<\/strong> always use stale bread. I suggest placing the bread out the day before and let it sit out overnight to dry. This will help the bread easily soak up more of the egg mixture without it becoming soggy.<\/p>\n<h3>What can I use in place of the heavy whipping cream and whole milk?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<p>You may replace the heavy whipping cream and whole milk in this recipe for 1 cup of half and half. You can also use just whole milk for this recipe, but keep in mind that it won&#8217;t be quite as rich.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-20579 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/French-Toast-5.jpg?resize=745%2C1118&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A plate holding French toast stacked up and topped with syrup and halved strawberries.\" width=\"745\" height=\"1118\" data-pin-description=\"This French Toast is incredibly easy to make with just a few simple ingredients and turns out perfect every single time.

This will make it much easier to dip the bread and you can soak several slices at once!<\/li>\n<li>Let the bread soak for about 30 seconds on each side so that it can soak up the egg mixture. If you&#8217;re using a thicker or denser bread, I suggest letting it soak a bit longer on each side. If you&#8217;re using a bread that&#8217;s not as thick, like regular sandwich bread, you&#8217;ll only need to soak each side for about 20 seconds.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>More Homemade
