Thank you so much for this recipe, you make a French Toast lover truly happy. 🙂
Hey Ladies, I’m just letting you know that I found your photo along with this recipe on a site that likes to copy/paste recipes, crop your watermark out of the photo, and then has a tricky ad right where it says “printable recipe”…anyway, they did the same thing to me a couple of weeks ago and I just wanted to let you know so that if you have a problem with it, you can email them demanding that they remove it and it should be down pretty quickly. I’m in the process of trying to report them to google for copyright infringement, so hopefully their entire site will get shut down soon. Let me know if you need more information.
You should be able to make them and stick them in freezer bags. Just reheat and eat!
I make these for my grandkids…I call them snowflake toast. They pretend it is snowing on the toast as we sprinkle powdered sugar over them.
Omg they look good…maybe someone will make them for me on my birthday
I have been looking for brillant French toast recipes or ages, so glad I have foudn this one. No more boring Saturday breakfast. From a very happy Londoner, x
This is not a friendly print recipe, print friendly did not print and I had to print the whole page, what a waste of paper!!! Thanks!!!
A step appears to be missing… what is done with the melted butter?
In the directions it says to melt the butter in the saucepan and then cook the french toast in it.
A big hit with the family! Can’t wait to freeze them and see how it taste when reheated. Thanks for sharing 🙂
What temperature is oven and how long on each side
These do not cook in the oven. They cook on the stove top. In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. After butter is melted, dip each piece of bread in egg mixture, let excess drip off and place in heated saucepan. Cook on one side until golden, then flip over and cook on the other side. (You could also cook them on a pancake griddle.)
I’m lactose intolerant, can I leave out the whipping cream in this recipe, Im using lactaid milk …will it still turn out delicious?
Hi Tammy. We have only made this recipe as stated in the directions. If you have substituted lactaid in other recipes, I’m sure it will work in this one too. Sorry we are not more help, we haven’t made this recipe using lactaid.
Oh how I wish I had known about this 40 years ago! Two boys. Running late for school. I am going to send them this recipe! They are great cooks and have boys!! THANK YOU! Love your recipes!
Hi Nancy! These really are so easy and delicious!
I made these for my 1 1/2 year old grandson and he loves them!! Made the recipe exactly and they turned out great. After they cooled I froze them and my daughter loves the convenience of having them on hand for him…and her as well…lol 🙂 Thank you for a great recipe!! On a side note, I got this recipe from your “12 days of Christmas with Six Sisters’ Stuff : 144 ideas for traditions, homemade gifts, recipes, and more” book from our local library and was happy to find it on Pinterest!!
