Do you love classic french toast, but hate going to a restaurant just to have your beloved breakfast food? After you make this french toast at home, you will not be ordering it in a restaurant ever again!
I have such wonderful memories of this Sunday morning breakfast food. My dad would make this french toast after Mass for our the family and anyone else who found out my dad was making breakfast!
Now, I have a certain family member who loves french toast as much as I did as a kid and would always bug me to take her out to breakfast…until I started making french toast just like my dad, at home using his recipe. Now, sometimes we even make it for dinner!

Yum… I need to try this for myself! I always add vanilla extract to my French toast mix, and it makes all the difference in the world. Thanks for sharing your dad’s version!
I prefer the classic French toast over all the others, and so does my hubby. Thanks for this recipe. It looks so easy to make.

My stomach is growling now! I do mine quite similar but I never thought to add honey. Good thing I have a big jar of it, as honey will indeed be thrown in next time. Thank you!
Honey and cinnamon and nutmeg on French toast sounds amazing!!!! The ultimate comfort breakfast!
French toast is my favorite! My recipe is close except for the honey, which of course I need to try out. And for me, the more cinnamon, the better!
When we had breakfast for dinner my Dad would always make waffles and homemade syrup. Yum!
French toast just might be one of my all time favorite comfort foods – you’re making me hungry!
I love french toast!! I have wonderful memories of my grandpa making the best french toast on holidays. I am going to pin this and try it! Yum!!!
That’s almost exactly how I make it except for the honey. It was my kid’s idea to add vanilla and cinnamon, both of which he loves! We make this A LOT at our house. 🙂
My daughter made french toast for me on Mother’s Day. I will have to tell her to add vanilla next year!
French Toast is one of my favs! My grandma used to make this all the time when I was little.
Sounds so good. I should make this next time we have company in town. I think I can handle French Toast 🙂
I’ll definitely have to try adding vanilla! My grandsons love French toast!
I love the honey and nutmeg addition!
While I love a “twist” on an old recipe or something revamped, there is something about enjoying the classics! This is on my breakfast to do list!!
I’m the only one in my family who likes French toast. I think yours sounds amazing though, maybe I’ll try to serve it again. Visiting from Blog Meets Blog on FB.
