Sourdough French Toast
This Sourdough French Toast is golden on the outside, custardy in the middle, and never soggy. Quick enough for weekdays but special enough for brunch.
Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 370kcal
Ingredients
- 4 slices sourdough bread (thickly sliced, ideally day-old)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons butter (or margarine)
- Optional toppings: maple syrup, fresh berries, powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a shallow dish, whisk the eggs, milk, cream, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg until smooth.
- Dip each slice of sourdough in the mixture, soaking for 2-3 minutes per side. Do not soak longer as the bread may become soggy. If using fresh bread, just soak for 30 seconds to 1 minute per side.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the soaked bread and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp at the edges.
- Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar and enjoy!
Notes
- Day-old bread works best; fresh bread soaks too quickly.
- Keep finished slices warm in a 200°F oven on a rack until serving.
- Refrigerate up to 3 days in an airtight container or freeze up to 2 months.
- Reheat in a toaster or oven for crispiness. You can reheat in the microwave if you don't mind soft toast.
