A Twist on French Toast
Posted by in Food
My kids love French toast but sometimes I think it’s a little boring. Normally I make it with cinnamon swirl bread, but to exciting French toast, try using banana bread, pumpkin bread or any other quick bread. When I make bread like this I usually make two loaves. We eat one and I freeze the other to use for French toast. Here are the secrets to success with this type of French toast:
1- Slice the bread thin.
2- Toast the bread or let it sit out overnight so it become dry and will absorb the egg/milk mixture.
3- Whisk some cinnamon into the egg/milk mixture for extra flavor.

I had never thought of using pumpkin bread, although I do make French toast with raisin bread. Try sprinkling nutmeg into the egg/milk mixture. Yum!
Love the idea of using quick bread. Can’t wait to share this tip!
Great idea. I always put a little flour in my french toast mix–it helps make the final bread crispy
Never heard that tip before – love it!
Interesting twist. Makes it seem even more special!
