Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4–6 slices of day-old or thick bread (brioche or sourdough recommended)
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 2 eggs or plant-based egg substitute equivalent
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons plant-based butter
- 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Custard Mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together plant-based milk, eggs or plant-based substitute, maple syrup (natural), vanilla extract (natural), ground cinnamon, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce until the mixture is smooth and fragrant.
- Soak the Bread: Dip each slice of bread into the custard mixture, allowing it to soak fully without becoming soggy. Let each side sit for 20 to 30 seconds to absorb flavors and moisture optimally.
- Heat Your Pan: Warm plant-based butter in a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat until bubbling but not burnt. This ensures a golden crust and rich flavor for your French Toast.
- Cook the French Toast: Place soaked bread slices gently onto the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until evenly golden brown. Flip carefully to avoid tearing the bread.
- Serve Warm: Serve immediately with favorite toppings such as fresh fruits, a drizzle of maple syrup (natural), or a grape juice reduction for an indulgent touch.
Notes
- Use day-old bread for better custard absorption without mushiness.
- Soak bread just long enough to absorb flavors but not to become soggy.
- Cook on medium heat to ensure even cooking and a crispy exterior.
- Add spices like cinnamon to enhance warmth and aroma.
- Including a natural gelling agent can improve custard richness and texture.
