Online recipes have not always been reliable for me, I just want a good 'classic' version. Spice it up some! hahah No but I would really love to hear your recipe.

depending how u making heat up like 2 table spoons of vanilla extract an mix some cinnamon in with it then mic with some milk an eggs reason to heat the vanilla an cinnamon together is so the Cinnamon doesn't separate an just float on top of the egg an milk mixture an you like nutmeg u can add that as well
The way we made french toast was to lay out the bread the nite before and let it get a little stale or slightly dried out. Depending on how many pieces or toast ya want what we did was to beat 3 eggs for about 6 or 7 pieces of toast and never added anything else to the mix.Soak the bread in the eggs on both sides. Just long enough to make the bread soggy. Then in about a 1/2 in of oil in a skillet and with the oil hot ,drop in 2 or 3 pieces of bread,depending on how big the skillet is . Fry each side to a golden and slightly brown color and dip it in powdered sugar to coat it. Add a dollop of butter or margarine and pour on maple syrup. We heated the syrup up too as a way to help melt the butter. We could cook up 10-12 pieces of french toast in about 10 -15 min. As for the spice I suggest you serve it wearing a ';teddy'; or nothing at all!!!!! YOUSA WOWSA !!!!!
i use the traditional stuff








eggs


milk


cinnamon


vanilla





but my fave way to make it is with big thick bread like texas toast bread from the store. Or use a thick cinnamon rasin bread. Put some butter in the pan warm your maple syrup. so good
French Toast:





2 egg whites


1 egg yolk


1/4 cup skim or low-fat milk


2 slices whole-wheat bread


1 tablespoon maple syrup


1/4 cup sliced strawberries





In a shallow bowl, combine the egg whites, yolk, and milk. Soak each slice of bread in the egg mixture for 30 seconds per side. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the bread until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, drizzle with the syrup, and top with the strawberries.





Yield: Makes 1 serving
I make mine without a recipe, but I can tell you how I do it. If I'm making less then 4 pieces, I only use one egg, anything over requires more eggs. I mix the egg with a little milk, or butter milk, just enough to mix it up and have it look like scrambled eggs, then I add a little dash of cinnamon. Mix that with the egg mixture. I don't usually use vanilla in mine, but I'm sure that would be good. I really like to use either french bread or sourdough. They are really good for french toast!! Dredge the bread through the egg mixture and place on a griddle set on around 350 degrees. Cook until side is golden brown, then flip and cook on other side until brown. I like mine with either butter and powder sugar, or with strawberry syrup. It's really good with fresh strawberries, mixed with a strawberry glaze and a little whipped cream too.
stuffed french toast is really good you make the french toast like you normally would when its done you put two pieces together like a sandwich and in the middle you put cream chesse strawberry or regular or you can put some sort of fruit u like, pour the syrup over it you can even put a little whipped cream on top if you stuff with fruit
MMMM. 2 pcs. TX toast bread, 2 eggs, 2 tbsp. heavy whipping cream, and 1/2-1 tsp. vanilla extract. Beat eggs and all other ingredients vigorously, saturate bread slices, and grill in lg. seasoned iron skillet over med. heat until light golded brown on all four sides. Optional confectioners sugar garnish but your favorite syrup is a must!
