French Toast your kids will love

Here’s the deal, mommies: Kids can be picky, but can they have French toast? It’s the breakfast that everyone loves—unless, of course, you make it wrong. But we’re not here to mess around with soggy slices or boring, limp bread. No, we’re going all out. 

This French toast will have your kids scrambling out of bed faster than you can say, “Breakfast is ready!” We’re talking crisp on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, with just the right amount of sweetness. It’s easy and delicious. It is guaranteed to win over even the harshest critics. Let’s face it: Kids can be savage about breakfast. Let’s make something they’ll love.

There you have it—the French toast recipe that will make you a breakfast hero. It’s crispy, it’s fluffy, and it’s the breakfast that your kids will ask for again and again. And really, that’s the goal here: to make something that tastes amazing and gets your kids excited about eating. We’re not just slapping some bread in a pan and calling it a day. No, we’re making French toast that has a rich flavor and texture. It achieves a satisfying balance of being crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

The beauty of this recipe is its versatility. Not only is it straightforward to make, but it’s also completely customizable. Want to add some chocolate chips or a handful of crushed nuts? Go for it. Maybe you’re feeling like adding a little fruit compote on top instead of the usual berries? You do you. The point is, French toast is the canvas, and you’re the artist. And trust me, your kids will appreciate whatever masterpiece you create.

Now, let’s talk bread for a second. This is where most people go wrong. It would be best if you had thick-cut bread with some structure. Brioche or challah is perfect. It’s light and slightly sweet. It holds up to the egg mixture without turning to mush. We’re looking for an ideal balance. The inside needs to be soft and custardy. The outside should have that golden, slightly crisp edge. This texture makes French toast what it is.

Another key here? The toppings. Sure, you drizzle some syrup and call it a day, but why not go the extra mile? A dusting of powdered sugar makes it look like it came straight out of a fancy brunch spot. Fresh berries add a pop of color and brightness that kids (and adults) can’t resist. And if you’re feeling extra indulgent, don’t forget the whipped cream. It’s optional, but not really. When is whipped cream ever optional?

And while we’re here, let’s tackle the “soggy French toast” situation. This happens when people don’t let their bread soak long enough or, worse, they use flimsy sandwich bread. Give your bread time to absorb the egg mixture fully. Still, don’t let it sit too long. Otherwise, it’ll fall apart. We aim for that sweet spot where the bread is saturated but still holds its shape. It’s all about balance, and once you get that right, you’re in French toast heaven.

So, there it is: the French toast your kids will love, and you’ll love making. Breakfast just got mummia!!
