Sourdough French Toast Recipe
This Sourdough French Toast recipe turns simple ingredients into a warm, comforting breakfast that feels like a hug on a plate. Thick slices of tangy sourdough soak up a spiced custard made with eggs, milk, cinnamon, and a touch of vanilla, then cook to golden perfection. I love serving it on quiet mornings at home or for a special weekend brunch with family. It’s easy, wholesome, and the perfect way to make breakfast feel cozy and special.
Ingredients
- 4-6 slices of sourdough bread (slightly stale works best)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk or cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 tbsp butter (for cooking)
- Optional toppings: syrup, fresh berries, powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk or cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Dip each slice of sourdough bread into the egg mixture, letting it soak for a few seconds on each side.
- Place soaked bread slices on the skillet and cook 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Add more butter to the pan as needed for the remaining slices.
- Serve warm with optional toppings like syrup, berries, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Notes
- Slightly stale bread absorbs the custard better without falling apart.
- Keep cooked slices warm in a low oven while finishing the batch.
