My mama’s French toast recipe will change the breakfast game for you forever. It’s a bold statement, but you’ll agree with me soon enough.

Most of us already know how to make French toast. Dip bread in some eggs and throw it on the skillet. Simple enough, right? WRONG. There is a right way to make french toast and I’m about to share it with you.

This French toast recipe is delectable. My mom has truly found the perfect ratio of ingredients to create a balanced level of sweetness.

It starts with the bread. We recommend using brioche, challah, or Texas Toast for a superior experience.

Next, she uses heavy whipping cream instead of milk. I can’t imagine a scenario in which milk would be preferable to whipping cream, and this French toast is just more proof of that! However, we will allow whole milk or half & half in a pinch.
