There’s nothing like getting up early in the morning and cracking eggs for French toast, right? It’s a thing that is usually reserved for an occasional weekend morning here. The “kids” were all here for breakfast Christmas morning and this was what I made along with plenty of bacon and sausage.
This is not “eggy” and not soggy either. I added a little Triple Sec to flavor it up along with vanilla extract. I usually make it with Texas Toast ~ not toasted as the name implies. Stale bread works best. You can fry it in melted butter but I usually put it on the griddle and save some calories. Either way, it has a crispy exterior with a creamy interior.
It melts in your mouth and is perfect for a lazy Sunday brunch!

Dip bread in egg mixture and place on hot griddle or fry in melted butter in a skillet on medium heat a minute or two until golden brown.
Serve
Yum!!!

Yum, yum, I like my french toast with warm maple syrup. This is one of my favorite breakfasts.
I'm a syrup gal and this sounds delicious! I would have never though to add Triple Sec but I can just imagine how wonderful it would taste.

Hi Pam! Thanks for stopping by!
I agree that there's nothing like good breakfast on Sunday morings. Although I didn't get a chance to eat breakfast as often as I wish but it's never too late right? :)
Wicked !! Definitely the thing to try whilst his nibs is away on business so there's no-one around to remind me about my New Year Diet.
Oooh, Pam, these sound really good. Good enough for dessert! Love your blog, L
That looks very yummy! We had French toast for breakfast this weekend to, but I added brown sugar, cinnamon and vanilla to it, yummy!! I love French toast, but it is not something i make often...time to start!
Triple Sec in French toast! Perfect!
Now this sounds delicious! I like mine plain, no syrup or powdered sugar but if I had to choose, maybe a little powdered sugar would work well.

We love French Toast, and make it several different ways to keep may family guessing which recipe they will be having. I serve it with warm maple syrup.

French Toast is a favourite with my kids. They love anyway it is done and yours sounds good. Thanks for sharing!
I am a huge French toast fan. Yours looks great, triple sec sounds interesting. I like mine with lots and lots of maple syrup and I would not mind some powdered sugar too:)
Love French toast and I can't wait to try this recipe! I can almost taste it now! I like mine with syrup, either cane or strawberry.
lots of butter and powdered sugar for me . . .
Fondly,

Hahahaha. We're expecting more snow tonight and what with the usual panic-driven buyout of milk, bread, and eggs at the supermarkets around here, a local friend just commented that people will end up making boatloads of French Toast. Love the addition of triple sec in yours - but I'll have to save that for a true snow day :)
oh wow, this is making my mouth water! i love the way you flavored this!
Simple...boozy...delicious! Just how I like it! :)

Looks delish! I like powdered sugar.
Oh, how I love French toast. This is a dream come true.
I like my french toast with fresh strawberries and syrup! Yum! We may be making breakfast for dinner tomorrow night. I think Texas toast is the best for recipes like this. I love the thick bread! Thanks for sharing, sweet woman. Eat well tomorrow!
Yum--what a great idea to add Triple Sec!
YUM!! My kind of breakfast....well, I'm awake, aren't I?
Powdered sugar...no way. Not even on donuts....nothing more icky than getting a slight inhale of powdered sugar. Ruins your day. Buttered syrup all the way for me!
Thats a lovely French toast and like the topping too!
