  1. I made this using white bread also. I took 2Bleu's advice & only used 1/2 cup of milk & no water. We didn't miss the yolk because we don't really care for it in the first place. We did feel that this french toast was sweet enough on its own. Made for Went to Market Tag
     
  2. My family LOVES this recipe! It's the best recipe for wheat bread hands down!!!! I followed previous posts and omitted the water, used the entire egg, and sprinkled extra cinnamon on top of the toast while in the pan. Even my picky eater enjoyed this recipe!
     
  3. My son and I really enjoyed this for breakfast. I scaled down the recipe to use 1 egg white and 2 slices of 15 grain bread. I did leave out the water. Great with maple syrup. Thanks Syd!
     
  4. Tried this with white bread (on hand). We loved the addition of vanilla but not the use of water. Just 1/2 cup of milk would have more than sufficed for 2 eggs. The batter was pretty watery which produced a soggy bread and crisp outside. We missed the taste of whole eggs. Also, I like the cinnamon put on the bread in the pan rather than the batter because no matter how much you stir, it's only the first few pieces of bread that get the coating. Overall a nice recipe, needing adjustments.
