Expert tips
The best bread to use is any thick-sliced bread, like Texas Toast bread, Brioche bread, French Bread, Italian bread, or thick-sliced white bread. Old bread or stale bread works fine too.
You can also cut the bread into sticks to make French toast sticks.
Recipe FAQs
Butter and real maple syrup are the most popular toppings. Jams and jellies are also great, or fresh fruit and powdered sugar. Try cinnamon sugar or a sprinkling of brown sugar. Have you tried mustard? It’s not my thing, but my husband and his family love it on French Toast.
