Make thick, custardy French toast with a crisp exterior using Texas Toast. This recipe uses a rich batter perfect for dense bread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices Texas Toast (thick-cut bread)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons butter, for cooking

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until fully combined. This creates your best French toast batter for thick bread.
  2. Place one slice of Texas Toast into the batter. Let it soak for 30 to 45 seconds on each side. Because the bread is thick, it needs more time to absorb the custard without falling apart.
  3. Heat a large griddle or skillet over medium heat. Add butter to the hot surface.
  4. Carefully place the soaked bread onto the hot griddle. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning before the center is set.
  5. Remove the French toast from the griddle and keep warm while you cook the remaining slices.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings for a restaurant style French toast at home experience.

Notes

  • For extra crisp French toast, lightly press the soaked bread with a spatula as it cooks on the griddle.
  • If your Texas Toast is slightly stale, it will absorb the batter better without becoming soggy. This is a great stale bread French toast hack.
  • This recipe works well for simple breakfast for a crowd; just keep the cooked slices warm in a low oven (200°F) while finishing the batch.
