There’s nothing quite like a weekend morning breakfast of fluffy French Toast smothered in real maple syrup! Serve with strawberries, blueberries, honey butter, or a side of oven-cooked bacon and be the hit of the day! I used homemade brioche bread made in loaf pans and cut each slice diagonally before dredging.This easy French Toast recipe will definitely up your breakfast game and bring everyone to the table! Instead, I placed them onto cookie sheets to cool and cooked them in a 400 degree oven when everyone arrived until warm and the custard was set. Since I was making a lot for mothers day (30 pieces), I fried three pieces at a time two hours before everyone arrived but did NOT put them into the 250 degree oven. The only thing that I did differently for mother's day was add cinnamon, vanilla, and a dash of almond extract to the custard. Loved this recipe! Will definitely be using it one again.Īn absolute winner! I did a test run for mother's day a few days in advance, following the steps as written, and was more than happy with the results. And so simple! It really is the kind of thing that can be thrown together in between the other steps of my morning routine. More of a bread pudding texture than the french toast I'm used to, and it has OPENED MY EYES to what french toast was meant to be! I added a dash of vanilla to the custard and used homemade cinnamon milk bread for it, and all I have to say is: WOW. is that a typo or am I reading it incorrectly. If I can edit this I will add my review afterwards. Topped with ripe strawberries and a dash of strawberries.
I used brioche bread from Trader Joe’s and added a dash of cinnamon to the custard. Just made this for breakfast! I cut this recipe in half and it was perfect. Made with brioche but mine wasn't as thick as the recipe so beware of not letting it get too soggy. Such a good recipe! I added cinnamon into the egg & cream mixture because I can't imagine French toast without a little warm spicy goodness. You probably don't need to add more butter and oil to the pan between batches, either. If you don't use brioche and you soak the bread 10 minutes per side, good luck getting it out of the custard in one piece! Cutting it fairly thick will help. I made the recipe with a supermarket French baguette, but otherwise stuck to the recipe. Can’t wait to remake for my boyfriend and I! Sooo good! Added cinnamon, vanilla extract, and nutmeg. I add orange zest which gives it a nice sparkle! And vanilla, of course!
If you cut the bread the night before and let it dry out overnight (or dry in a low oven for 30 minutes or so) it will both soak up more and hold together better The next morning I soaked them and made great French bread.Īlso, you can add a T or two of rum to soaking liquid.īest French toast ever! Perfectly cooked! I just added cinnamon to the mixture and served with sliced almonds and strawberries and it hit so hard. I actually took some leftover King's Hawaiian dinner rolls, tore them in half and left them to dry out overnight. I've been particularly happy using some older Alfaro's Artesano but have also used King's Hawaiian. I have made this with other premium/enriched commercial breads. If you're in the SF Bay Area, try this using Semifreddi's Cinnamon Twist (along w/ a dash of vanilla or rum), yeah, it's overkill, but in a good way. It can be prepared almost entirely the night before in the morning, simply brush it with butter and bake.Įditor’s note: This recipe was originally published in December 2014. When you’re entertaining a crowd for brunch-or hosting family for the holidays- French toast casserole is the way to go. If you or your guests are dairy-free, consider these crispy French toast soldiers, which are made with orange juice instead of milk. Of course, there are lots of ways to make French toast, and no one said you had to stick with the classics. Cooking the toast in a combination of butter and vegetable oil results in golden brown, lightly crisp edges and prevents things from getting too brown too quickly. There’s no need to dry out the slices, but if the loaf has been sitting on the counter for a day or two, all the better. Use Pullman, brioche, or challah-all tender, spongy breads that can stand up to the dairy drench-and slice the bread thickly to keep it from falling apart. If you don’t have cream on hand, you can substitute with extra whole milk (this is not the time for skim). The bread in this recipe gets a long soak-about 10 minutes on each side-which delivers a remarkably custardy interior. But it’s not just the ingredients that flirt with that other classic, there’s also something to the method. With an eggy soak enriched with both milk and heavy cream, this superlative French toast recipe winks at bread pudding.
