]]>Traditionally, French toast is made by dipping slices of bread into a mixture of egg and milk, then pan-frying them until golden and crispy. Vanilla and cinnamon are also often added for flavor, though some food bloggers have found ways to take French toast to the next level by putting their own spin on this classic dish. Read on for some of our favorite French toast upgrades.
S’mores French Toast
Breakfast reimagined, campfire style. This French toast recipe by Spicy Southern Kitchen takes us back to our childhood by coating the bread in graham cracker crumbs and stuffing it with layers of chocolate and marshmallow. The result is ooey, gooey, and seriously indulgent, only to be improved with a drizzle of hot fudge.
Peanut Butter & Jelly French Toast
Another one based on a childhood favorite, Katie Cakes puts her spin on French toast by serving it slathered in peanut butter and jelly. Stack two pieces together to make yours in the style of a traditional sandwich, or serve it open-faced to make it more French toast-y. Whichever you choose, be sure to top it with some fresh berries and plenty of powdered sugar.
Bananas Foster French Toast
Balanced breakfast, shmalanced breakfast. This recipe by Handle the Heat is nothing short of a sugar rush on a plate, but wow, is it worth it? It’s made with challah, an enriched bread that contains honey and tends to have a somewhat sweet flavor as a result. Topped with brown sugar caramel-coated bananas, a few bites will have you feeling like a kid in a candy store. We give it a 10/10.

]]>Crème Brûlée French Toast
Start your day on the sweet side with this French toast recipe by vegan cookbook author Alice Pages. Silken tofu, soymilk, and vegan butter are used in place of milk and eggs to give golden brioche a custardy texture, while cinnamon and vanilla add an aromatic touch. Once the bread is done frying, simply spread on a few spoonfuls of crème brûlée topping and hit it with a blow torch until caramelized.
Chai-Spiced Crème Brûlée
This one is more of a twist on traditional crème brûlée than crème brûlée-inspired, but it’s just so good that we had to include it. Minimalist Baker puts a plant-based spin on the dessert by using cashews and coconut milk to create a creamy custard base, incorporating Indiana masala to add a spicy touch. It’s a great recipe for fall or whenever you’re in the mood for something warm and comforting.
Crème Brûlée Doughnuts
Like a classic Boston cream, but better. This recipe by The Little Blog of Vegan takes donuts to a new level by filling them with a rich vanilla pastry cream and topping them with a crunchy caramel pastry shell. The result is fluffy, sweet, and seriously indulgent—perfect for a special breakfast or anytime dessert.

]]>Considering how long it’s been around, there are more than a few variations on the classic. Do you toast the bread before? Use only egg yolks?
The verdict is still out on those, but we have a trick that will make your French toast the most caramelized version of itself that it can be—jam.
The concentrated preserve is made using fruit and sugar, both of which will upgrade your toast. Not only does the sugar give the dish a sweetness, it will also caramelize when cooked, giving the French toast a crispness and depth of flavor.
Flavor is also a key aspect of the jam’s fruit component. The best part is, you can use your jam or marmalade of choice. Try berry, orange, fig, stone fruit, or apple. You can’t really go wrong.
Start with a classic French toast recipe and simply stir the jam into the custard before dipping in the bread. It’s best to give the jam a vigorous stir beforehand to smooth it out and whisk in 1-2 teaspoons of warm water if needed.

]]>Challah French Toast
Because challah is so fluffy and thick, it’s a great bread to make French toast with. Make sure to cut thick slices so you can really enjoy the soft texture of the bread. Challah is also known to be a sweeter bread, which makes your French toast taste that much better!
Served with Shakshuka
Pairing challah with shakshuka is a great breakfast or lunch option. Shakshuka is a tomato sauce cooked with eggs, and it is common to dip various breads into the sauce to enjoy it. Challah bread is a common choice because it compliments the flavors of the shakshuka perfectly.
Challah Breakfast Bake
Sometimes all you want to do is throw a bunch of ingredients in the oven and enjoy a warm casserole-type dish. You can make delicious breakfast bakes with challah. You can add eggs, berries, raisins, apples, and so many more delicious ingredients to have the perfect challah breakfast bake!

]]>The basic recipe for French toast is usually the same for most people. You dip a slice of bread in egg mixture and then fry it in a pan until it’s golden brown on both sides. Along the way, you can customize it in a number of ways, including adding ingredients like cinnamon or vanilla extract to the egg mixture and topping it with honey, maple syrup, or icing sugar.
But what if we told you that the core formula can be improved upon in order to give you the best French toast you have ever tried?
TikTok Hack for Better French Toast
TikTok user Sheena recently uploaded a video in which she revealed a simple but genius hack that changed the way she makes French toast. She first toasted the bread and then dipped it into the egg mixture.
The video quickly blew up, reaching close to 30 million views and attracting 40K comments from perplexed users who couldn’t believe they didn’t think of it before.
There are several reasons why Sheena’s hack works. First of all, you get more evenly cooked French toast and avoid getting it soggy from the egg mixture. Also, the toasted French toast still remains crispy even if you top it with butter or maple syrup. But don’t believe us, try it yourself.

]]>The ideal French toast is both crispy and custardy. Much like a good croissant, a slice of the breakfast food should be crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. It is this beautiful contrast that makes a piece of French toast, well, parfait.
The way to achieve this delicate balance is by making sure your bread is crisp to begin with. There are a couple of ways this can be done including drying out your bread overnight. But, luckily, there is a tool that will achieve it with just the push of a button.
Before placing the bread in its eggy mixture, you want to actually toast it (see what we said about the name?) The aim is to make the piece dry and firm, but only slightly brown. Try doing it on the toaster’s lowest setting and even toast it twice if need be.
Once you’re done, make up the custard mixture using your eggs (we prefer sticking to just the yolks) and some brown sugar. Dip it in, place it on the pan, and sink your teeth into French toast that is perfectly crisp and soft.
You can thank us later.

]]>Bread Type
Just like any other type of toast, French toast can be significantly improved with the right kind of bread. White bread won’t do your French toast any favors, and it’s best to replace it with whole-grain bread or any other gluten-free bread that you can find at your local bakeries.
Switching Ingredients
After replacing white bread with a healthier variety, it’s time to move to other ingredients. If your recipe calls for milk, you should consider going dairy-free and use your favorite plant-based brand. Sugar is best avoided, and you should either replace it with natural sweeteners or ditch it altogether.
Healthy Toppings
Who needs sugar in their French toast when you can simply sweeten it with delicious toppings? Chocolate spreads can be replaced with nut butter and maple syrup, and you should also consider topping your French toast with fruits to up its fiber content.

]]>Stale Bread
The most important secret for making the perfect French toast is to use slightly stale bread. That’s why this tasty breakfast is the perfect choice if you want to use up old bread. In case you don’t have any, simply dry out the bread in the oven for a few minutes to make your French toast more crunchy and tasty.
Use Only Egg Yolks
If your French toast often tastes like scrambled eggs that’s probably because you’re using whole eggs to make it. Eliminating egg whites will give your toast that perfect crunchy texture you’re looking for.
Seasoning
Last but not least, seasoning French toast with your favorite spices is the easiest way to add flavor and upgrade this breakfast. Fresh herbs like chives, thyme, oregano, or coriander are great for making the perfect savory French toast.

]]>Brioche
This thick and sturdy bread is already buttery and eggy which makes it work great with the eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla.
Sourdough
The tangy taste of sourdough balances out the sweetness of French toast. It’s also one of the sturdiest breads, so you don’t have to worry about it falling apart.
French Bread
Baguettes make for great French toast due to their thick, crispy crust. Cut the loaf into thick round pieces instead of squares.
(@fernandherfork)Challah
Instead of letting challah go to waste, use it for French toast. It’s sturdy and because of the braiding, it makes for a beautiful finished product.
White Bread
Any thick-sliced white bread works well for French toast. A cheap white bread can be elevated by making it into a French toast.
