How to make French toast! I know what you are thinking; that is so easy, but I had never made it till I was pushing 30 years old. French toast is one of those foods we love to eat for breakfast, but it also doubles as a fantastic dinner, aka brinner!
Easy meals like this are perfect for getting the kids in the kitchen cooking with you! My kids started flipping the French Toast at a young age and helping crack the eggs. Now that they are nearing their adult years, it’s one they can do solo.
French Toast Ingredients:
Now you can make this with a variety of different add in’s to the french toast to customize it, i included a list of options at the end.
How To Make French Toast:
Preheat your griddle or large fry pan, and grease it with shortening to help stop the French toast from sticking.
Mix your eggs, vanilla, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl.
Once your griddle or pan is hot and ready, dip a slice of your bread into the batter and coat both sides
Pro Tip: Don’t allow the bread to sit in the mixture. It will be too soggy if you do.
Place on the hot cooking surface and allow to cook.
Make more batter as you need.
I tend to add more cinnamon after making some French Toast; sometimes, the batter seems to have the cinnamon disappear pretty fast.
Serve and enjoy!

How Long To Store French Toast
Store in an airtight container or Ziploc bag for up to five days after cooking.
You can freeze French toast for up to three months in an airtight container or freezer bag.
Storing leftovers properly requires the right tools! My preferred storage method is if the leftovers can be sealed in a food saver. If not, then an air-tight container or Ziploc bag for the fridge is the way I go. The airtight container or a freezer Ziploc bag are the next best bet for freezing the leftovers. I also use a food scale to measure portions into serving sizes.

Your recipe for Orange French Toast sounds easy and delicious.
I have made a recipe similar to this one. It is delicious!
A little orange zest will bump up the flavor:-)
You list the 4 ingredients but nowhere do I see how much to use of each except for the bread. ???
This is awesome. I will try this absolutely. When I fix French Toast I like to add a shot of Bailey’s to it along with the cinnamon and vanilla. They really have a wonderful taste. Thank you again for your wonderful recipes.
