I'd have French toast for midnight snack,
Would you?
Quick Tip 1:
For a wonderful result, sprinkle cinnamon sugar on the bread once it is cooked to get that crisp crunch on the surface.
Quick Tip 2:
Stale bread holds up better than fresh bread when making some French toast, resulting into a much crisper French toast.
Did you know?
French toast also known as pain perdu in French literally means, lost bread because it is a way to salvage stale bread. It is also referred to as gypsy toast, omelette or eggy bread.

Elsie Hagley! Hello and thank you. Pleasure to have you here in my kitchen. Please help your self for some toasts (and coffee). :) Well, let me know how you like it with vanilla extract. One thing for sure...it smells good. :) Enjoy!
I haven't cooked or eaten french toast for many years, now I would like a piece but it's tea time and it's ready to eat, so will certainly make some tomorrow I have never added vanilla extract to french toast ever must try and see what it tastes like.

MarloByDesign: Glad you like it. Thanks and enjoy!
I love your French Toast tips. I also love cinnamon (but I use in my batter)! I voted in your poll (midnight for French Toast sounds good for me). I recently switched to real maple syrup on French Toast and now I can never go back to high fructose corn syrup!

Nell Rose: Love French Toast and will be nice if my mom could do it for me too but she's miles away and I only see her on skype and FaceTime. Cheers!
My mum used to make this for us, not had this for many years! now I want some! lol!

Arachnea: I love my happy call and it is so versatile. I'm not a big fan of frying because I don't like the oil splatter but with happy call, no more splatters! This was a gift from my hubby and he ordered it on line. :) Back to the French Toast, I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy it.
Thank you for stopping by here.

SusanDeppner: Thank you. I love the cinnamon sprinkles too. Cheers!
I like this recipe. An acquaintance, years ago, had turned me on to using vanilla in my French toast. I was pleased to see that you use vanilla in your recipe too. I haven't ever tried soy milk in my FT, but will give it a go. I checked out Happy Call cookware as mentioned above and will check to see if it's available in the area. Being in a small apartment, I find having small appliances which can be stored away is far more useful. Great recipe.
French toast is one of my favorites. I think the vanilla is the secret to the flavor. Love the idea of sprinkling cinnamon sugar on top!

Kathryn: My pleasure to share and thank you for stopping by my kitchen. I personally love that double sided pan. So cool! Go, get one for you! :)
French toast is the ultimate comfort food. Good idea about sprinkling the cinnamon sugar on the toast instead of mixing it into the egg. I'm going to try that.
Tried it this morning and it is wonderful, added fun for boring for breakfast.
Thanks for sharing how to make a quick french toast!
I could eat French Toast any time, morning, noon, or night. And I like that double sided pan. 5 stars, of course!

I never thought toast could be so fun till I saw that video. Thanks for the recipe and the laughs. Smile!
Oh my! I am so hungry right now and would love a plate of these! It is what I make for my grandkids when they visit. Love your sharing on this recipe. Thanks!
I used to take longer to make a french toast, but this is easier and the authentic recipe to" toast it like the french". Thanks for sharing Cris Sp. Would definitely try this recipe.
I'm not a pancake eater, but I do like French toast. This recipe is very similar to mine, but I put the cinnamon directly into the egg mixture. Hmm. I'll think I'll have French toast for dinner tonight. Thanx, Cris!
We love French toast and try out different recipes. Thank you for sharing this easy recipe.
I love this idea for making a simple toast. A much more improved thoughts with a unique taste of cinnamon and sugar.
We buy fresh challah each week and always end up with extra. It generally turns into a weekend lunch of French toast. From time to time, I experiment with adding other flavors to it such as cinnamon, and I love it drizzled with fresh berries.

Bill: I guess, why not? I used stale bread anyway, so there's no need to worry about expiry date. This will be good for dinner too with either aperitif or digestif. :)
Hugs back to you and some love from the sky~
