Easy Egg White French Toast
We’ll kick things off with a more traditional French toast recipe that leans into the vanilla and cinnamon flavor combo. It’s quick and simple to make, and you probably have most ingredients in your fridge and pantry.
Making this easy French toast recipe is as simple as mixing the egg whites, milk, vanilla, and ground cinnamon together in a shallow bowl, dipping the French bread in the egg mixture and cooking it on a skillet with sizzling butter until each slice is golden brown. Serve it hot with a drizzle of warm maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar.
So simple. So delicious.
Baked French Toast with Sausage
This French toast recipe is a must-try. The secret ingredient to this French toast casserole? Bob Evans Maple Sausage. Pairing it with the cinnamon raisin bread and sliced glazed apples results in salty-sweet perfection.
We also love that that there’s no need to monitor the griddle with this overnight French toast dish. To make the savory breakfast casserole, you simply brown the meat, layer the bread, sausage, and apples, and dump the mixture of whisked eggs and milk on top.
The next morning, you can simply pull it out of the refrigerator, bake it and enjoy.

You can prepare the pudding up to two days ahead of time, adding to its appeal during busy holidays or when guests come to stay.
