French toast remains a favorite breakfast choice of many, including myself. These are a few of my favorite ways to take this old classic comfort food and a new twist.

I admit it. I love French toast anyway I can get from the old true and tried 3classic stacked tall with powdered sugar to the IHOPS stuffed french toast. If it is on a menu, I will order it, and if I could get away with it, I would eat it every day.

When I was a kid, I would watch my grandmother make french toast every Sunday morning. I would watch as she dipped into the egg mix and as it puffed up in the pan. I also enjoyed the smell of the cinnamon and nutmeg filling the house as she made it. It was the true highlight of my week.

As I started cooking for myself, it was my go-to recipe. It was easy, cheap and so good. I would even have french toast parties at my home for friends. But this fantastic breakfast food is not limited to the old classic that we all know and love, and I would like to share some of my favorite ways to mix it up with you.

First is my classic version of french toast.

Classic French Toast

Two eggs

½ c milk

2 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp nutmeg

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp vanilla

4-8 thick slices of day-old bread

Beat eggs, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar, and vanilla together in a shallow bowl.

Dip bread into the egg mixture, allowing bread to soak up some medicines. Melt some butter into a large skillet on medium-high heat. Add as many slices of bread onto the skillet as will fit at a time. Cook until brown on both sides, flipping the bread when necessary.

Sever with butter maple syrup and or powder sugar.

Pumpkin Pie French Toast

Two eggs

½ c milk

½ c canned pumpkin

2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, pumpkin, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth.

Dip each side of the bread in egg and cook in a hot, greased skillet. Flip after 1 – 2 minutes.

Or when brown. French toast s done when golden brown on both sides

Sever with syrup, butter, and or powder sugar

French Toast Sandwich

One egg

½ c milk

¼ c Parmesan cheese or other firm cheeses

1 tsp nutmeg

Four slices of day-old bread

Four slices of Swiss cheese

Four slices of thin sliced honey-roasted turkey

Four slices of thinly sliced honey ham

Honey and strawberry jam

In a shallow bowl, mix egg, milk Parmesan, and nutmeg

Dip bread in, letting it set for a second to soak up the batter.

Place two slices in a hot buttered skillet and top with meat and cheese. I like to layer ham, turkey, Swiss, ham turkey Swiss, and top with other bread dipped in the egg mix.

With hen is brown, flip, toast is made when brown on both sides, and cheese is melted.

Sever with honey and jam.

Strawberry Mascarpone Stuffed French Toast

Six slices of thick-cut cinnamon raisin bread bread

1 8oz pkg of Mascarpone cheese

4 tbsp powder sugar

2 tbsp orange zest

¾ cup fresh strawberry

Three eggs

1/2c milk

2 tsp vanilla

½ tsp nutmeg

½ tsp cinnamon

½ tsp salt

In a medium bowl, mix the Mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and orange zest. Stir in Strawberry and spoon filling equally onto three slices of bread, top with the other three slices of bread. Lay stuffed slices of bread in a shallow baking dish.

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Pour the mixture evenly over the bread, tilting the dish to coat the bread thoroughly. Let sit until the liquid is absorbed, at least 30 minutes at room temperature.

Add Stuffed bread to a hot buttered skillet, cook on both sides till golden brown

Sever with powder sugar, jam, honey, or syrup.

These are my favorite four recipes for french toast. I hope you enjoy them as much as my family does. And if you do, please comment below.
