I had half a loaf of stale bread that I'd bought a week and a half ago before the lockdown began, so I did this to revive it. Without any other added ingredients it can be eaten savoury or sweet as one likes. The egg and milk in the proportions given seem to be almost exactly enough for six slices of sandwich bread.

Jacques Pépin is one of my favorite chefs. He always creates simple but sophisticated recipes, perhaps that's why he is a genius. At the age of 80+, he is still sharing his knowledge about cooking via social media. 85 years old to be exact! And he still has fulla vibrant energy through and through. Mad respect.It took me so long to share this recipe with you lovely people because this is so simple that I do not think it is a recipe. But then again, it will be neat to share. As I said earlier, Jacques Pépin's recipes are simple yet complex and this is all it is. Simplicity is indeed the ultimate sophistication.As Jacques Pépin said that ice cream has all the ingredients that a classic French Toast has, so why not use it to speed up the process. And to serve the toasted bread on any remaining melted ice cream is just pure genius. That extra pinch of sugar adds another layer of grainy texture too. Perfect!As a side note, since there are less than a handful of ingredients, use the best that you can find. There is a huge difference between a vanilla bean and a vanilla flavored ice cream. You can Google about how vanilla flavorings are being made, but be warned as you might lose your appetite.

A recipe for oven-baked French toast was on display in a bakeware shop near my house, but the recipe used such a tiny amount of liquid. So I modified the recipe in such a way that I thought it would suit my family's tastes better. There's usually no rings free on the hob in the morning as everyone's making their packed lunches, so recipes like this that don't require a frying pan are so handy. Pictured is the recipe made with Danish bread.With this amount of egg mixture you can soak 4 slices of an 8 slice loaf of bread, but please shorten the baking time slightly.The egg mixture will probably not be enough to do 4 slices of an 6 loaf bread, so add one more egg to ensure the bread gets saturated. Note that this will result in a stronger egg taste and the overall result will be less sweet. Recipe by nemarin

I was inspired by an episode of Triple D. I put my own spin on it one morning for a sleepover for my daughter and her friends on her birthday. The entire loaf was gone and they were asking for more... Should have bought 2 loaves.

French toast is so time consuming for me because I have to make so much of it. This way was a breeze and Iam happy that I have 2 13x9 baking dishes so I can double this up , I found that one dish wasn’t enough , one dish would feed 3 people with no Second helpings . I started this at 10:30pm it took like maybe 10 mins if that , and popped that in the oven around 9am half asleep Waiting for the coffee to kick in 😴 set some timers and bam breakfast is done. Set it and forget it my kinda cooking lol . I did find that I thought it was to sweet for my liking with the brown sugar and butter on the bottom, that can be cut down to less as long as the bottom of the dish is covered, however my kids loved it and was licking 👅 the plate asking for more, then wishing I should have doubled it and made two . This is a game changer for them busy mornings or holiday mornings ,and if your like me lazy mornings and you hear when’s breakfast 100 times before you even get to the coffee pot .lol

It's really good if you use bread that has gone a little stale. Kids will gobble this up if you make it for their breakfast.Keep an eye on the toast at all times so as not to let it burn. At medium heat, cook the french toast while flipping frequently. Recipe by Nacchi sencho

Delicious and easy to make HAVE FUN

I had sliced bread, eggs, and milk, so I made myself a snack.I use bread from a 6-slice loaf. (2 cm thick slices).It will burn easily, so adjust the level of heat as necessary.Serve with maple syrup or honey.It's also delicious made with baguettes! Recipe by Kumahachi

I call this Mountain French Toast. The first time I had it was up in the mountains of NC, many years ago. Liked it so much I asked the cook for the special ingredient he used.

I had a huge smoked ham in the fridge that I carved up. For sandwiches, soups, rice, etc. It was breakfast time and I had some Texas Toast, so I went the French Toast route.

My father used to make French toast all the time. As I grew up I wanted to make it. So through trial and error I came up with this recipe. My father's used to be a little soggy, but mine is not. This is sure to be a quick, and easy meal. Cinnamon is optional, so is syrup.

My son loves French toast so I make it a lot. I made some milk tea for him, but he didn't drink it and I didn't want to either, but it was a waste to just throw away. I tried using it to make French toast and it was delicious. So I turned it into a recipe.The steeping time in Step 3 not only cools the mixture down a bit, it also increases the flavor and fragrance, so don't skip it.Don't try to press more tea out of the teabag; you'll be releasing more bitterness from the leaves.
