Practical notes

Here are some common questions about French toast in general. This will help to make this sugar cinnamon French toast easier.

What bread to use for French toast?

When making French toast it is important to use a firm bread, that way when dipped in the egg mixture it holds up. You can use a Challah, Brioche, Sweet Hawaiian bread, etc.

How many eggs for French toast?

We used 3 eggs for this French toast recipe. You can aim for 2-3 depending on the recipe. The egg mixture soaks into the egg creating a rich and custard mixture.

How to store leftover French toast?

If you’re lucky enough to have any of this gourmet French toast recipe leftover, you just need to store it in the fridge in a container with a lid. Make certain that you let it cool down all the way or it will cause moisture droplets inside the storage container. This will then make the toast soggy and no one wants that!

How do you know when French toast is done cooking?

Since you’re only wanting to make certain that the egg mixture is cooked, you just need to pay attention to the coloring. French toast should be a golden brown color and should hold up well when touched. It shouldn’t have any visible liquid mixture to it and it should appear completely cooked all the way.

Can you freeze French toast for later?

You bet! If you happen to make up a big batch of this french toast recipe, just put some in the freezer for later! This is a great way to meal prep and have a yummy breakfast waiting in the fridge. Once you’re ready to eat the french toast, you just need to move it to the fridge and let it unthaw. u003cbru003eYou can then reheat low and slow on the stove or pop it in the microwave for a few seconds of time.

Kitchen notes

Cream Cheese Powdered Sugar Glaze:

2 tablespoons softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk and then drizzle over the French toast. We used King's Hawaiian Sliced Bread but you are welcome to use any bread that is firmer. Too soft of bread will become mushy once dipped in the egg wash. You can double or triple the recipe if you would like to make extra. Store leftover french toast in the fridge. Or you can freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat just warm the French toast up in a skillet on the stove.
