There was nothing good about this one. Like many others, I didn't read the reviews until I was in the midst of making it. This *sounded* similar to one I used to make when I was in middle school, but it's far from it. This turned out done-looking on the outside, but absolute MUSH inside. I cut back on the cinnamon and without it there's NO FLAVOR whatsoever. Don't bother.

basic receipe wasn't too bad .... I read some reviews first and scaled back on the milk and cinnamon and added an egg for extra body .... overall pretty

Forgot to read the reviews... You people are so right. I also want to point out that it somehow has 3 stars (at the time of this writing) which is very misleading. Careful how you rate things.

Anyone that needs a recipe to make french toast is pitiful!

I just can't get my French Toast to be crispy on the outside like it is when you get it in a restaurant. My French toast is never soggy, but it doesn't have the crispiness that I'm always looking for. I usually use Texas Toast, I've also used French Bread.

WAYYYYY! too much milk and too much cinnamon. Will definitely NOT make again. I had to make a second batch using the "French Toast I" recipe on this site.

Surely 1 tablespoon of cinnamon is an error in this recipe? I used just 1/4 TEAspoon...also I omitted the salt. Now that was easy french toast alright. I sprinkled it with powdered sugar and served it with vanilla yoghurt and maple syrup. Yum!

Don't listen to the people who can't cook! I like this recipe as is - I'm single and don't cook for a lot of people. I made this in my cast-iron 8-inch skillet, and I don't like to waste my free-range eggs, being too expensive. I cooked my two slices of bread with the lid on my skillet, and it came out fine. I actually used the drippings from my sausage that I cooked, put the sausage patties on top of the french bread slices, and poured maple syrup on top of meat and all! Homemade McGriddles! Thanks for the easy, thrifty, and adaptable recipe.

recipe is horrible. correct amount of cinnamon is 1/4 teaspoon per 6 slices of bread. i doubled every ingredient except for the cinnamon and it still turned out horrible.

Too much milk to egg ratio! When I make French toast I use 4 eggs to about a 1/2 cream or half and half. A teaspoon of vanilla and a 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Use a good heavy bread like French, Italian, Challah or croissants. Dip bread in mixture about 10-15 seconds, then I press it against the bowl to press out some of the liquid. Fry it in a skillet with canola oil or oil and butter mixture. Mine gets nice and crisp without putting it in the oven. If you only have white sandwich bread, cut it into 3 strips, and then dip it quickly, and put in hot pan. Otherwise you will have a sloppy mess. Cook them til they start to puff up and then turn. You need more oil to cook them than other breads.

This was an OK easy recipe with some glitches. If you are using regular thin sliced bread, DO NOT soak. Simply dip each side. Reduce cinnamon to 1/2 Tsp per slice of bread but you might need to add more as the bread slices soak up the cinnamon floating on top. Reduce milk to 1/4 cup per 2 slices of bread. Fully cook on lower heat setting if it is burning on the outside and soggy on the inside.

My 8 year old made this for dinner tonight. It made 6 slices of french toast all told, and was wonderful with a dash of syrup! Give it a try!Don't stress so much over the soak time, just plop it in the bowl of egg/milk mixture turn over and plop it on the griddle - perfect!

Quite possibly the best french toast I've had! I used more bread than it called for, and it was moist and yummy!

The french toast was soggy and way 2 much cinnamon. and it stuck to pan!! i will never make it again!! i didn't read the reviews until i finished that sause stuff that u dip the french toast in i leared my lesson, always read the reviews first!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I had misplaced my recipe and came here looking for the same one, and I can't tell you how difficult it was out of all the other recipes I just wanted simple french toast so thank you once again.

far too much milk.

I made the mistake of not reading reviews before making this. Like a lot of people said, it was soggy, and even with a oiled pan, still tended to stick. I would reduce the milk to about half a cup or so, and wouldn't soak it for more than 10 - 15 seconds. However: the bread I used was partly stale, and the mixture actually did very well! I suggest using staler bread and it would work much better.
