Here’s some trivia about this age-old bread and egg recipe
French folks refer to “French toast” as “pain perdu”, which literally translates to “lost bread”. Many chefs prefer a loaf of stale bread or old bread (which is why it is referred to as “lost” in the first place) while preparing the dish as it soaks up just the right amount of the whisked egg mixture and provides the outer surface with a right amount of crisp, making for all the yumminess.
The Star Of The Dish
Any great French toast recipe starts with good eggs. Luckily, we have loads of options. All Licious eggs are fresh, hormone and antibiotic residue-free, cleaned, and thoroughly quality tested.

Easy French Toast Recipe
Some like it sweet; some like it savoury! But the classic French toast is an easy hit for all. Before jumping on to the mixture, here’s something to take note of. Choosing the right bread is very important! It should be thick enough to absorb the mixture and be capable of being flipped on the pan without breaking yet thin enough to melt in the mouth with minimum effort, allowing the person to savour the taste longer. To make them you’ll need:
| Prep Time | 15 minutes |
| Servings |
people
|
- 4-6 units Licious Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 6 slices Bread (preferably a day old)
- 1/4 cup Sugar
- pinch salt
- 1+1/2 cups whole milk (may also be mixed with 1-2 teaspoons of cream)
- 2 tablespoon pure maple syrup (optional)
Ingredients

- Homemade French Toast mixture needs you to whip the eggs, sugar, salt, cinnamon powder, milk, and vanilla extract together for a few minutes till the mixture reaches an even texture and is a little on the foamy side (do not overdo the foam).
- Dip the slices of bread, one at a time, into the mixture, enough to become saturated but not enough to become soggy and break away before cooking.
- Melt some butter in a pan (preferably non-stick) as a coating to cook the bread. Place the soaked bread on the hot pan and let it cook for a few minutes before flipping to cook the other side for an equal amount of time.
- Cook the bread enough to reach a brownish colour and a smell you cannot resist, and you are good to go!
You need to store the cooked toasts in a warm place by the time you make the others. You may keep the toasts in a warm oven at 120°C or even a warm casserole until you finish preparing the other slices. Now all you need to do is pile them up, pour some fresh maple syrup over the top, garnish with a few berries, if needed, and enjoy the magic of French toast! And did we mention Nutella and peanut butter make great additions too?
Don’t just wait there! Order your Licious eggs now, and enjoy this melt-in-the-mouth wonder!
