Sourdough French Toast Recipe

This recipe is sugar-free and great for using leftover stale sourdough bread!

I soak leftover stale sourdough in a custard made with egg, milk and cream, then cook it on a hot pan. Ta-da! The easiest breakfast ever is ready!

The texture is superb: soft on the inside and slightly crunchy on the outside, with perfectly crisped edges.

The taste is AMAZING! It is slightly tangy, and I also flavor my French toast with some warm spices such as ground cinnamon and nutmeg.

What is more exciting about this recipe is the fact that you can easily pair it with any topping you prefer; mine is maple syrup.

You'll Need

Note: This is an overview of the ingredients. See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

Sourdough Bread. I used white sourdough bread because it has an amazing texture; I like to keep it for 1-2 days before using it so it absorbs the custard better.

Tip: Cut your sourdough bread into thick slices to absorb the clustered well without falling apart or becoming overly soggy.

Eggs. I use 4 large eggs to make the custard, in which we will soak the french toast.

Whole Milk and Heavy Cream: They are the most responsible for the creamy and rich texture of the french toast.

Ground Cinnamon and Nutmeg.

Vanilla Extract. I like to add a little vanilla extract to the egg mixture to enhance the flavor.

Butter. I use butter to cook my french toast for a perfect crispy texture on the outside.

Maple Syrup: For serving. The perfect finishing touch, maple syrup!

How To Make Sourdough French Toast?

One (Prepare the custard): Whisk together milk, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract and heavy cream until combined.

Two (Soak the bread): Place 1-2 slices of the bread into the mixture, allow it to soak up the egg mixture for a few seconds, then flip it. Allow the other side to soak in the mixture for a few seconds as well.

Three (Cook the bread): Heat the butter in a non-stick pan. Once melted, add the soaked bread to the pan, cook for 2 minutes or until the bottom is golden. Flip it and cook for 1-2 minutes more or until it is golden brown. Repeat soaking and cooking the remaining bread.

Four (Serve): Transfer the toast to a serving plate, top with maple syrup, butter and your favorite fruits, serve warm.

Top Tips!

• Add a minimal amount of oil alongside your butter. The added cooking oil will prevent your butter from burning but don't skip butter in this recipe as it gives more depth and richness to your french toast.
• Make sure the pan is hot enough before putting in your toast. If the pan is not well heated yet, chances are your toast will stick to the pan's surface, ruining its appearance altogether.

Serve It With

Personally, I like serving this dish with a cup of White Chocolate Latte or Chocolate Bubble Tea.

Considering that eggs are a morning staple, why not jazz up your French toast with a generous portion of Scrambled Eggs With Smoked Salmon or Dippy Eggs With Soldiers on the side too?
