It&#8217;s a practical bread I eat for the whole grains and the ability to say I&#8217;m eating healthy to my doctor. But it&#8217;s not one that makes a decent French toast.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, Kellogg&#8217;s has its Eggo Thick &#038; Fluffy Classic French Toast that doesn&#8217;t require me to whisk eggs, dip UPS driver uniform-colored bread in an egg mixture, and cook it in a skillet. It&#8217;s currently available in three varieties \u2014 Classic, Blueberry, and Cinnamon Brown Sugar. My local Target only had the Classic one made with Madagascar vanilla. <\/p>\n<p>Using Madagascar vanilla is nice, but this could&#8217;ve had New Jersey vanilla and I wouldn&#8217;t know the difference between what comes from the coast of Africa or the shores of Jersey. But the vanilla itself is not enough to eat this topping-less. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Kelloggs-Eggo-Thick-Fluffy-Classic-French-Toast-with-Syrup-2.jpg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kellogg s Eggo Thick  Fluffy Classic French Toast with Syrup\" title=\"Kellogg's Eggo Thick &#038; Fluffy Classic French Toast with Syrup 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It needs butter and something gooey on it, whether it be honey, cheap store brand pancake syrup (which is what I used), or pure maple syrup from a small farm in Vermont that costs $25 for 4 ounces. Okay, it&#8217;s not as if it tastes like plain bread slices, but pre-lightly sweetened or flavored it is not. It looks like a nice piece of French toast with the appropriate char and eggy color, and it has a nice soft and fluffy texture, but it lacks a flavor that makes it taste as if it&#8217;s gone through an egg mixture of any kind. That&#8217;s weird to me.<\/p>\n<p>But who eats French toast without any toppings? Certainly not the French. And, as IHOP and Denny&#8217;s can attest, most certainly not Americans. When store brand syrup and cinnamon is added, it&#8217;s a tasty part of a complete breakfast.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Kelloggs-Eggo-Thick-Fluffy-Classic-French-Toast-Part-of-a-Complete-Breakfast.jpg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Kellogg s Eggo Thick  Fluffy Classic French Toast Part of a Complete Breakfast\" title=\"Kellogg's Eggo Thick &#038; Fluffy Classic French Toast Part of a Complete Breakfast.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The only issue that truly irked me was the recommended toasting instructions that say to heat it at the lowest setting and two cycles may be necessary. But whether I was toasting one or two, I needed to light up the heating elements more than twice to get the pieces all warmed up. Of course, toasters differ so your results may vary.<\/p>\n<p>Even with that problem and the lack of flavor when plain, Kellogg&#8217;s Eggo Thick &#038; Fluffy Classic French Toast is still a fine product.
