Ingredients
- 4 slices of thick bread (like brioche or challah)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for cooking)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- ¼ cup strawberry sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- Powdered sugar, for serving (optional)
How to Make Strawberry French Toast
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated but not overly soggy.
- Place the coated bread slices onto the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- While the French toast is cooking, prepare the strawberries by tossing them with a tablespoon of sugar (if desired) to enhance their sweetness.
- Once the French toast is cooked, plate it up and top with sliced strawberries and a generous drizzle of strawberry sauce.
- Finish with a dusting of powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness, if desired.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use day-old bread for the best texture; it absorbs the custard better without falling apart.
- Don’t skip the vanilla extract; it elevates the flavor significantly.
- Keep the cooked French toast warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while you finish cooking the rest.
Easy Variations
- Swap the strawberries for other fruits like blueberries, bananas, or peaches.
- Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the egg mixture for extra warmth.
- Try a nut butter drizzle on top for added richness.
What to Serve With It
- Crispy bacon or sausage links for a savory contrast.
- A side of yogurt or cottage cheese for added creaminess.
- Fresh juice or coffee to complete your breakfast experience.
