Sweet and fruity french toast

This light French toast has always been a “treat”. Even though this recipe uses just a few ingredients and less than half an hour of your time to make a large batch of puffy French toast with berries.

In this post, I’ll walk you through my quick and easy French toast recipe, as well as which ingredients work best.

Bread is the key to perfect French toast. The truth is, if the slices aren’t too thin, you can use many different types of bread for this recipe (including sandwich bread).

Top tip: make sure your bread is dry. It doesn’t have to be “stale” because that could mean less flavor. For the “quick dry” method, place the sliced bread in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes at 300ºF/150ºC, flipping halfway through. Alternatively, leave in the oven overnight (heat off).

Here are some tips for choosing ingredients.

• Bread: I use mainly buns. You can use whole grain, yeast-free bread, etc.
• Milk: I like to use whole milk for the best flavor, you can also use coconut milk.
• Spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla (extract or paste) and lemon extract or a little lemon/orange zest (optional).
