Why I love this recipe

I get to use up leftover coffee creamer in such a creative way. It’s a win-win for me! The creamy, sweet flavors make me feel like I’m indulging in dessert for breakfast. Every slice turns out perfectly golden and crispy, with no soggy bites.

Ingredients

  • bread – Thick slices work best like so if shopping in the bakery choose a Brioche, Challah, or a fresh French loaf. Sara Lee Artesano bakery bread is a good one from the regular bread aisle.
  • dairy – a  mix of milk and coffee creamer
  • honey – for a little added sweetness, maple syrup works beautifully too!
  • eggs, salt, & butter

Step by step

  1. your oven to 375°F. Slice the bread into thick 1-inch slices to ensure it soaks up the custard without getting too soggy.
  2. In a shallow bowl or dish (a 9×13 pan works great), mix the milk, coffee creamer, eggs, honey, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  3. Dip each bread slice into the custard mixture, letting it soak for about 30 seconds per side. Once soaked, transfer the slices to a baking rack to drain for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Spray a large pan with cooking spray and melt a little butter over medium-low heat. Cook each slice of bread for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  5. Transfer the cooked slices to a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 5 minutes to ensure the center is perfectly fluffy.

Tips for best results

  • Use sturdy bread; it soaks up the custard without falling apart.
  • Slice bread between ¾ and 1 inch thick to avoid soggy or undercooked centers.
  • Allowing the bread to drain slightly on a rack before cooking is the key to the perfect golden crust.
  • Use a mix of butter and cooking spray for even browning and less sticking.

Variations

You can easily customize this French toast recipe by substituting vanilla creamer with flavors like pumpkin spice, caramel, or hazelnut to match your mood or the season.

Adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice is delicious too. The options to make this recipe your own are truly endless!

Serving suggestions

I love dusting the slices with powdered sugar and drizzling them with syrup for a classic finish. For a brunch-worthy twist, I’ll top them with fresh berries or caramelized bananas and a dollop of whipped cream. It’s a total crowd-pleaser.

You can also pair the toast with crispy bacon or sausage, scrambled eggs, and breakfast potatoes, which adds a delicious sweet-and-savory contrast that’s hard to resist.

Storage

Store any leftover French bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

To freeze leftover French bread, place the cooked slices on a baking sheet and freeze them until they harden. Once frozen, move the slices into a freezer-safe bag, where they can be stored for up to three months.

Reheat in a toaster or bake at 350°F until heated through. For larger portions, use a 250°F oven to keep the toast warm for up to half an hour before serving.

Notes

If you do not have vanilla coffee creamer, you can substitute it with another flavor of creamer, plain heavy cream, half-and-half, or even milk, although the flavor will change slightly.

Be sure to slice the bread a full inch thick—if it is too thin, you will end up with floppy, soggy toast!

  1. Irene taught me to sprinkle 2 T brown sugar in egg & milk mixture dunking both sides of toast before using a big spatula to put in.a skillet with plenty of butter. The wet side up bread gets cinnamon sprinkled on it. When browned bread is turn over bread, sprinkle cinnamon on cooked side of bread. Take browned bread out of pan and plate adding more cinnamon sprinkled on top sides. Top with powdered sugar and enjoy the best tasting French Toast you will ever eat!
