Delicious French Toast (Simple, Golden & Family-Favorite)
Before we even crack an egg, let me say thank you 💛. I love sharing recipes that actually get made again and again — and this Delicious French Toast is one of those. I’m still laughing that my sister now calls me to make it for my nieces because they won’t eat hers anymore… that’s how you know it’s a winner!
Golden and crisp on the outside, soft and custardy on the inside, this is the kind of breakfast that feels like a warm hug. It’s simple, cozy, and anything but boring!!
