Here is a basic French toast recipe. You can get fancy if you want to and add vanilla, cinnamon or even flavored liqueur - but you certainly don't need to! Simple is best when camping - and everything tastes great when you eat it out of doors!


Tips


Pack the bread carefully

  • A loaf of plain white or whole wheat bread works fine - but be sure to pack it carefully so that it doesn't get squished. A good loaf of French bread is sturdier and less squishable.


Don't stress about measurements

After you have made this once or twice, you won't need to measure the milk. Just pour it in until it looks "right".

Once you know how to make French toast, you won't even need a recipe.


Top with your favorite toppings

Here are some suggestions:

  • butter
  • jam
  • berries

  • Place a piece of bread in the pan. Let it sit for a moment to soak up the liquid.

  • Turn the bread over and soak the other side. Don't let it get too soggy, though, or it will break when you try to pick it up!

  • Using a fork, transfer the soaked bread to the hot skillet.
  • Cook for a couple of minutes, until the underside is golden brown and the egg coating is firm.
