There’s something magical about French toast.
It’s not just breakfast.
It’s comfort on a plate .
Golden crust.
Silky, custard-like center.
A hint of cinnamon.
A drizzle of maple syrup.
It’s the kind of breakfast that makes you want to cancel your plans and just… savor.
But here’s the truth:
Not all French toast is created equal.
Some versions come out soggy.
Some burn on the outside, raw on the inside.
Some taste like eggy bread — not the dreamy treat you were hoping for.
But after years of trial, error, and a lot of toast, I’ve cracked the code.
Let’s explore how to make perfect French toast every single time — with simple ingredients, smart techniques, and a few pro secrets from the breakfast gods.

It’s a delicate balance of:
Moisture (so it’s custardy inside)
Crispness (so it’s golden and crunchy outside)
Flavor (so it tastes rich, not eggy)
And it all starts with the right ingredients and method.
