THE MENU FRENCH TOAST IMPROV

Use whatever bread you want. It is better if it is more absorbent.

 

For sweet french toast, don't use savory bread like rye, or onion rye or onion pumpernickel. You can use egg bread, or even something like panettone. You can use leftover cake...

 

You are not limited by just milk and egg for the batter.

 

You can mix jam or marmalade into the milk and egg. I often even swirl in some bacon fat, too.

 

You don't need syrup over this toast, really, just maybe butter, or powdered sugar.

For the more adventurous, you can even use thick sliced bread for the French toast, say one inch thick, and slip through a deep wide slit through one edge of the slice of bread a flattened, precooked, whole hog sausage pattie, or even a piece or two of pre cooked smoked bacon, in there. That would be good.
