Oh my this was good. I served mine topped with a little whipped cream. I also used my usual seeded bread rather than white bread and used a combination of rum and vanilla extract rather than all rum. Everyone in the house enjoyed this – will make again.
Really good French Toast. I made some slight changes. I used 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon Rum Extract, only a dash of salt, brown sugar instead of white and also used wheat bread. Will make again!
so yummy, I love this in the fall or on cold winter mornings,
Made it for Christmas morning. My boyfriend and I both thought it was “interesting”, it wasn’t bad, but probably won’t try this again. I think the rum extract was a little too much. Maybe cut it down to one teaspoon? I made it with wheat bread and it was fine
If it was only me sting this it would get 5 stars. My husband said it was a bit sweet and my son said it is not the regular. What do they know… I added whip cream to top it off and I loved every bite.
Easy and my family loved them. Didn’t change anything to the recipe except just added a dash of salt instead of the amount it called for.
Great recipe! Fun to make, smells and tastes incredible, and my family loved it.
I loved this perfectly spiced french toast! My 19 month old liked it too. I even used ww bread and reduced the salt to 1/4 tsp (1tsp would have ruined it) and brown sugar instead of white. Thanks for sharing your recipe
Wow! This was very nice. Great for those winter mornings. Thank you for the recipe.
