This Easy French Toast for One Recipe cooks up in five minutes and is perfectly sized for just one person.
Often when I eat breakfast it’s just me. I’ll usually end up making a smoothie and having a bowl of milk or a granola bar, etc. But sometimes I want a REAL home-cooked breakfast even though it’s just me.
This easy French toast for one recipe is quick and simple to make – about 5 minutes from start to finish – and is perfectly sized to feed ONE person. 5 minutes for a whole delicious, fresh-made breakfast sounds great to me!
For my french toast I used a white bread with sesame seeds on the crust, but you can use ANY type of bread. I often like to use a multi-grain bread because it makes the breakfast more wholesome and hearty.
You can even change things up and use a cinnamon swirl bread or slices of french baguette. The options are pretty much endless.
With this simple but delicious breakfast, I end up getting protein from the egg, fiber from the bread (I use whole grain or the fiber-enriched white bread) and drink a glass of milk with it. That’s my idea of a yummy quick breakfast!!!
When I make French toast, grilled cheese, or anything with bread, I love using my square griddle. It makes it so easy to fit up to four pieces of bread/sandwiches on the square surface.
I have this particular Calphalon square griddle that I have used for almost 10 years now and it is awesome!
It heats very evenly and it is easy to clean when I’m done cooking.
