Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Texas Toast French Toast

Texas French Toast starts with thick slices of Texas Toast as the bread in the recipe. The thick slices of bread have a hearty texture that soaks up the decadent custard-like batter like a sponge, resulting in a luxuriously creamy interior with a satisfyingly crispy exterior when cooked to perfection on the griddle. The flavors of the almond and vanilla extracts with the cinnamon create a flavor explosion not to be beat. Adding fresh fruit gives the whole classic dish a restaurant vibe.

Of course, you can use other thick sliced bread like French or Italian bread, challah, or Broiche. I find that the Texas-style bread is a favorite of the family so we use that more often. My personal favorite is to use cinnamon bread cut into slices.

How long does French Toast Last?

Leftovers of Texas Toast French Toast can be stored in the refrigerator. Store it in an airtight container or a freezer bag. The French Toast will last up to 5 days in the refrigerator.

It can also be frozen. I recommend flash-freezing the slices before adding them to a freezer bag or container. To flash freeze: line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the slices in a single layer on the sheet. Freeze until the slices are firm and frozen. Then slide them into a freezer bag.

Reheating French Toast

To reheat the slices, I recommend using the toaster or air fryer. You can use the microwave but I find that makes the slices a bit soggy.

Can I make this in the oven as French Toast Casserole?

Yes, you can turn this into a French toast bake. Place the bread into a casserole dish and cover it with the custard. Bake the French toast bake until the bread is crispy and the center is cooked through.

What to Serve with French toast

We love to have this with this with crisp bacon, breakfast potatoes, and our family’s favorite breakfast tacos.

Tips and Tricks

• While Texas toast is used, any of your favorite bread will work. Brioche, sourdough, French bread are all great choices.
• Any type of milk can be used, even plant-based like almond, oat, or soy.
• Replace the milk with heavy cream or half and half for a creamier richer custard batter.
• Be sure your griddle is hot and you allow the French toast to cook completely on both sides.
• Make French toast sticks by slicing the bread into strips before dunking them into the custard mixture, then cook. Or, slice the toast when it’s finished cooking. Kids love to dunk French toast sticks into syrup.
