Thank goodness the weekend is here! Last Saturday WE GOT A PUPPY! It’s actually been months in the works, but he was ready to come home last weekend. He’s a 8 week old Brittany spaniel and his name is Finnegan, but we call him Finn or Finny. And boy has it been an adjustment, it basically feels like I have a newborn baby again.

Working around his sleep schedule has been the biggest hurdle. I miss my freedom, but Finnegan is ridiculously adorable and for being so young, he’s such a good puppy. Plus he likes to snuggle in my lap while I work at night. He’s such a love nugget.

This French toast was the first recipe I made while Finn was napping because it’s so easy.

Remember back when I posted Your Basic Weekend Pancakes? Well, now I’m sharing a pillowy French toast version to match. Your Basic Weekend French Toast is an easy, go-to recipe with simple basic ingredients. Nothing fancy or hard to find.

Because everyone’s weekend morning needs an easy, go-to French toast recipe.

To Make Your Basic Weekend French Toast You Will Need:

  • eggs
  • milk
  • vanilla
  • nutmeg
  • kosher salt
  • texas toast

Into a mixing bowl, crack in 3 large eggs. Whisk well until the egg whites are broken up and mixed well with the yolks.

Next, pour in 1-1/2 cups milk and 1-1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract.

Lastly, season with a pinch of kosher salt and grate in some fresh nutmeg.

Whisk well one last time to combine!

Using one slice of Texas toast at a time, quickly dip each side into the egg custard. I like to dip all of the pieces of bread, placing them onto a rimmed metal rack set into a baking sheet pan before griddling.

Preheat your griddle somewhere between 325°-350℉ (or 160°-180℃).

Spray or spread the coconut with coconut oil or butter. Working in batches, place the dipped bread slices onto your preheated griddle and cook about 3 to 4 minutes a side, flipping when the underneath side is golden brown. Repeat with the remaining slices.

HOW TO KEEP FRENCH TOAST WARM:

As you work in batches, transfer the cooked pumpkin french toast to a clean rimmed baking sheet and keep warm in a low 200℉ (90℃) oven.

Butter each slice of French toast and stack before drizzling with real maple syrup.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH PUMPKIN FRENCH TOAST:

  • bacon, regular or maple sausage links or patties
  • fresh fruit and/or berries
  • coffee or tea
  • for brunch, serve with scrambled eggs, fresh fruit, yogurt and hash browns.

HOW LONG WILL FRENCH TOAST LAST IN THE FRIDGE:

Got leftover French toast? Save it and enjoy it later in the week! Store the French toast in an air-tight container or resealable bag/stasher bag (to avoid drying out or absorbing fridge odors) and refrigerate for up to 3 to 5 days!

CAN FRENCH TOAST BE FROZEN?

Absolutely! Flash freeze the French toast first on a rimmed baking sheet for 30 minutes, portion serving amounts into resealable baggies (or stasher bags) and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
