A great basic french toast recipe that can be modified endless ways. I made it exactly according to the recipe and then did a layer of cream cheese sandwiched between two finished slices of french toast baked in the oven at 375 for about 7 minutes. Delicious!

This was the best french toast I've ever made! I only had 4 eggs, but kept the liquid the same, although used 1 cup whole milk, and 1/2 cup half & half. I omitted the orange zest - I wasn't sure the kids would like it. Will make this again for sure!

yum!! This is a great recipe. I lightened it up a little by using milk instead of half and half and cooked it in grapeseed oil instead of butter. I also added cinnamon.

Made this for 2nd time this morning. De-licious, Ina...as always. I can't imagine this without Bacon on the side. Before placing your second batch of bread into the liquid, give it a quick whisk to blend the settled ingredients first. One side of my last batch was coated with orange zest...which I loved, but my son did not. I also tried slicing the bread on a diagonal to make larger portions... without realizing this would also result in too much crust per slice. Next time I will go for straight slices.

This had all the right flavors balanced out and though I was fearful that the challah would soak up too much or leave too little liquid for the end of the preparation, i was wrong. It was exactly enough. Be careful to judge your "soaking factor" within the 5 minute window. Since I had fresh challah, it didnt need more than 2-3 minutes per batch. Staler one, would need more soaking. The "sogginess" is a personal preference I feel. I like my french toast moist on the inside and crispy/toasty on the outside. Depending on your sweet tooth, you can omit the jams for serving (I did. Old fashioned powdered sugar, touch of butter and good maple syrup was just right. The honey and orange zest in the challah balance the sweetness very well. I second the bacon as a side, though its amazing on its own. Thanks Ina !! Enjoy!!
