Description

Wake up to the ultimate golden, crispy French toast—with zero morning hassle! This easy overnight recipe lets you prep everything the night before, so all you have to do in the morning is fry and serve. Fluffy, slightly sweet, and infused with vanilla, every bite is a comforting delight. Drizzle with Karo honey or syrup for the perfect finishing touch!

Ingredients

• 1 loaf French bread, sliced
• 3 eggs
• 1 ½ cups milk
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Butter (for frying)
• Karo honey or syrup (for serving)

Preparation Method

In the evening, prepare the custard mixture by whisking together eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla. Dip each slice of French bread into the mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated. Layer the soaked bread in a baking dish, cover, and refrigerate overnight. This step allows the flavors to meld while keeping the bread soft and ready for frying.

In the morning, heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry each slice until golden brown and crispy on both sides, flipping carefully to achieve even cooking. The result is beautifully caramelized French toast with a rich, custardy center.

Serve immediately, drizzling with Karo honey or your favorite syrup for a sweet and indulgent breakfast. Pair with fresh berries, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar for extra flavor.

Tips and Conclusion

Use day-old bread for the perfect texture—it soaks up the custard without getting soggy.

For extra crispiness, cook in a mix of butter and a splash of oil.

Customize the flavors by adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the custard.
