I've just had this for breakfast so it seems very a propos to make it my Sweet Sunday spotlight! For me, bread is key to the making of good French toast. It needs to be slightly crispified (or stale). Mix the milk with eggs, put in a drop or two of vanilla extract alongside a generous sprinkling of cinnamon, then heat some butter in a pan and fry it up til it's golden!Smother it all in rivers of glutinous maple syrup, and if you really want to be posh you can throw in a berry or two.
Could getting to paradise be any easier?
Happy Sunday!
Have I told you how much I love your Sunday posts? I am off in search of the perfect bread now so I can recreate your lovley experience. :)
ReplyDeleteYumity yum! I love French Toast :0

Looks yummy. Did you save some for me? :) Hope you have a great Sunday. Looks like it's off to an awesome start!
ReplyDeleteMmmm I love French Toast, as well as French Toast-flavored anything (like waffles, yes they make them.) Now I'm even hungrier. ;)
ReplyDeleteI love french toast! I haven't tried vanilla extract, so I'll give it a try next time I make it.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I love the picture you put up on your profile. You're so pretty!
Oh yum! This certainly sounds like heaven to me. I must give it a try.
ReplyDeleteYour descriptions of food always make me hungry! I had Corn Chex for breakfast this morning. :(
ReplyDeleteYummy! French toast is my hubby's favorite breakfast. I don't think I've ever put vanilla extract in it, though. I'll have to try that!
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday, Talli!!!
I haven't eaten French toast in years because of an unfortunate aftermath when I was a kid. But I do love the smell of it. And now you've made me even more hungry than I already was, so thanks for that. ;o)
ReplyDeleteThere's no way that's a breakfast. That's a dessert.
ReplyDeleteI add a little sugar to my mixture before I batter my bread. Just makes it a little sweeter. Now I'm hungry. Think I'll have breakfast for lunch.

Lovely, I just had chocolate cake and apple pie after dinner with cream and ice cream, so dont worry about going into training yet for your Dublin debut. P.s. my 13 yr old, thinks you look like Agness Deyn (sp?) and she is an expert on all things celebrity.
ReplyDeleteMason - I added some sugar too but forgot to write about it! Yay for sugary French toast!
ReplyDeleteFran - it's a breakfast. I assure you!
E Elle - What unfortunate aftermath? You can't leave us hanging!
Brigid - I've got the Agyness thing a few times! On my honeymoon in fact I had a crowd of Croatian teenages who followed me around the island shouting 'Agyness! Agyness!' I didn't want to let them down...
Oh my yummy God.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm SO craving French toast. Thanks for that (grumble, grumble).
Have a great Sunday! :)
OHH..I am so going to make this today. But I need some vanilla. That must be the ingrediant that helps traspire this picture to be exude sweetness. Thanks Talli!
ReplyDeleteDelish!
ReplyDeleteNever really happy with my french toast...it's okay, but I think I need to try another kind of bread, that's probably where I'm going wrong.
Made ham & cheese omelets this morning.
(sorry if this duplicates...froze during posting)
French Toast is my favorite breakfast food ever!! Have a great Sunday!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis would normally have made me hungry, but I was prepared this time. I just ate a plate of waffles smothered in syrup. Not quite the same as French Toast, but close enough. ;-) I love making French Toast Sticks.
ReplyDeleteOh, yum!! My grandmother used to make French toast...with a bit of sugar added to eggs...sigh...I love bread!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I really wish I had done what Mary had and eaten BEFORE this post *sighs* I guess just for you I could go and make some since they sound soooo very delicious ;~)
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday!
Okay these are getting out of hand Talli, they look to delicious!
ReplyDeleteThis morning I had to decide between pancakes or french toast, I chose pancakes... now I'm wondering if I made the right choice. LOL
Mmmm, French Toast! I haven't had a good plate of it in awhile.
ReplyDeleteYum, pain perdu! Have you tried with brioche instead of bread? It's also wonderful with pain d'épices (kinda like cakey ginger bread) and crème anglaise.
ReplyDeleteMm-hmmm that looks good. And l looooove your hair in your pic. You are adorable hot!
ReplyDeleteWe had waffles for breakfast. My personal favorite. And I do the same, cinnamon, spash of vanilla and some sugar in the mix. Had some fresh papaya with it...yum.
ReplyDeleteYour tweet about this made me want french toast this morning. But, being lazy, I made muffins instead.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I do like to add in some nutmeg to my french toast mix... :-)
Call me crazy, but French toast is a late-evening meal for me :-)
ReplyDeleteOh yumm... that looks fantastic. Must diary to come back to this post next sunday!!!
ReplyDeleteTalli, you're my 100th Follower. THANK YOU! If I live to be a hundred, I'll always remember your profile cup of coffee, your French toast and you. And you know what, I'm gonna celebrate with a cold glass of Frascatti...cheers to you!
ReplyDeleteI missed breakfast, so I'll be having french toast for lunch, thank you very much!
ReplyDeleteThis is pretty much a staple in my house. My kids love it!
ReplyDeleteMy kids aren't fans - so I haven't made French toast in years! Yes, I have strange kids! I think I'll make some anyway :)
ReplyDeleteHow delicious looking!! My daughter loves french toast, but not mine. This one I think she'd like--with that vanilla, cinnamon, and butter.
ReplyDeleteI just took a look at your web page and read about The Hating Game. I'll be waiting to hear that it's been released. It sounds like a very delightful read!!
I'll add, use white bread to make it. Whole wheat bread does not make good French Toast.

I had the same thing, but I always forget to put the vanilla in!
ReplyDeleteLove how you always blog about food!!!
OH! So yummy! Thank you for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteI really dig French toast...
ReplyDeleteI havent had french toast in like forever.....I need to save that slightly stale bread this week. Yum!
ReplyDeleteOooo, now I know what to make for dinner.
ReplyDeleteDear lovely Talli,
ReplyDeleteTAG! You are it. Check my blog to hear the rules of this game.
<3,
Me ;)
Mmmm....you should try mine someday.
ReplyDeleteI use eggs and instead of milk I use non-dairy french vanilla coffee creamer, cinnamon and just a slight bit of nutmeg. The coffee creamer makes it yum! Otherwise, use cream and add vanilla. (I've used that in a pinch) mmm mmm!
Great post Talli!
I haven't had French toast in years. You've inspired me to make some for breakfast tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteOh, yum! I didn't know the bread was supposed to stale - great tip!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness my mouth is squirting!! hehe I will have to write this recipe down and try mmmmmmmm :o) thanks!
ReplyDeleteps and it's so lovely to see your beautiful face!! :o)
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly right! It's so important to use a lot of cinnamon as it's so healthy! :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, I think I use way more vanilla extract, but it's important to use even a drop or 2! I know what I'll be having for breakfast in a few days. Thanks for reminding me! :)
The vanilla extract and syrup are key...not to mention a MOUTAIN of BUTTER!
