What is French Toast Without Milk?

This French Toast without Milk is a delightful twist on the classic breakfast favorite! Instead of using milk, we rely solely on eggs and flavorful spices like cinnamon and nutmeg to create a rich, satisfying taste. This version results in a firmer texture that my son’s friends absolutely love—they even ask to take the recipe home to their moms! It’s super easy to whip up in just 25 minutes and pairs perfectly with butter and syrup for a cozy morning treat.

Some Tips!

• Make sure to beat the eggs well and mix the spices thoroughly to avoid clumps, especially before dipping the last slices of bread.
• For an extra flavor boost, try adding a pinch of salt or a splash of orange juice to the egg mixture.
• Keep the heat on medium-low to ensure the toast cooks evenly and gets that lovely golden brown color without burning.

How to Store Leftovers?

To keep everything fresh for later, I recommend letting any leftover French toast cool completely before storing it. Then, place the slices in an airtight container or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. They can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them even longer, pop them in the freezer! Just remember to separate the slices with parchment paper, so they don’t stick together. When you’re ready to enjoy, a quick reheat in the toaster or microwave will do the trick!
