Recipe: French Toast

I’ve never been able to turn away French Toast. When I saw this recipe, dipped in sour cream, cream, and pumpkin spice, I knew I just had to try it. It did not disappoint! I was skeptical about the amount of pumpkin spice thinking it was way too much. To my surprise, I couldn’t taste it at all. When I topped the French toast with powdered sugar (as I do with all French toast), I also gave it a good sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice. Sooo good! Will be making this one again! Thank you, MissouriFarmWife, for sharing this recipe.

This looks delicious!! I have just recently started making French toast for my family, I used to hate it, but I think I just got a really soggy piece or something when I was little lol. I love the stuff now, and this is different from the way I have been making it recently, bookmarked to try :)

I always add cinnamon and vanilla to my egg mixture, but never thought to use pumpkin pie spice - yum! Thanks for the idea, DIZ. My husband is lactose-intolerant, so I use Lactaid lactose-free milk, but I bet the sour cream and whipping cream made this taste as rich as all get out!

Mommyluvs2cook, we *love* French toast for dinner! Wal-Mart's own brand of French bread (I think it's called Market Place??) from their bakery section makes excellent French toast because you can cut it into thick slices. I usually do about 3/4-inch thick.

Stunning photo DlZ. I've been making french toast for eons and have never thought of pumpkin spice either. Is Walmart's French bread the same as a baguette Bakerme? My father told me that the key to good French toast is stale bread.

Angel, it's softer and bigger than a baguette, which is long and thin and has a crunchy crust. DIZ's above photo looks like the Wal-Mart French bread I get. I buy it, cut it in half (using most of half a loaf per meal for just the two of us), and freeze both halves in freezer bags until we want French toast. That's sometimes months away and then I thaw out one bag when we have a taste for it. After I slice the bread, I let it sit on the counter until I'm ready to get cooking and it's plenty stale. Both fresh and stale bread "work", but stale doesn't fall apart in the egg mixture or make the French toast mushy, like it can sometimes with fresh bread. Does that make sense or does it all sound as clear as mud?

I try not to shop at Walmart just cause it's CRAZY Bakerme, but the Walmarts French bread sounds great! Will have to keep a look out for it next time I'm there :)

It makes great garlic bread, too, Mommyluvs2cook. :)
