Whether you eat it for breakfast, brunch, or even dinner, you're going to fall in love with this sourdough french toast. 

INGREDIENTS FOR SOURDOUGH FRENCH TOAST 

So, as I mentioned earlier, you will need common kitchen ingredients to make this recipe. The only one you might not have on hand regularly is the star of this french toast - the sourdough bread.

I just love using sourdough bread to make french toast - the slightly sour and tangy flavor balances perfectly with the added spices and sweetness. 

Anyways, here is everything else you'll need: 

• 6 slices of sourdough bread
• ¾ cup of milk
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• Pinch of salt
• 2 tablespoons butter 

Pretty standard stuff, right?!

Now, you'll want to grab the sourdough bread from the store a few days before making this recipe. Stale sourdough bread yields the best results.

But if you have a craving for this recipe and want to make it immediately, fresh sourdough bread still works well too! And if you're feeling extra, you can even use homemade sourdough bread with a sourdough starter.

HOW TO MAKE SOURDOUGH FRENCH TOAST 

Another reason to love this recipe is how simple the process of making French toast is.

There are just a few easy steps and a tested cooking method that will give you the perfect piece of french toast every time. 

By the way, if you have a griddle, I highly suggest using it - you will be able to cook all of your french toast at the same time and will have it done even quicker! 

Now gather all of your ingredients and get ready for the tastiest french toast you've ever made. 

STEP 1: PREPARING YOUR FRENCH TOAST 

First things first, you will add your milk, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to a large bowl. Then whisk all of these ingredients together until well combined. 

Then, heat your butter on a griddle, frying pan, or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until melted.

Once the butter is melted, and the batter is ready to go, dip your slices of bread into the egg mixture one at a time until coated. And make sure you do not soak your slices of bread in the egg mixture for too long. 

STEP 2: COOKING YOUR FRENCH TOAST 

After a slice is dipped and coated in the egg mixture, place the soaked bread on your hot skillet and continue adding the other slices. And if you are using a pan, you will probably only have room to cook one at a time. 

Pan fry each side of the bread for 3-5 minutes until it is crispy on the outside and golden brown, then flip your bread and pan fry on the other side for another 3-5 minutes until nice and golden brown. And, if you need to, you can add more butter as needed while cooking. 

Then, after all of your slices of bread are cooked, serve warm with a slab of butter, fresh berries, and maple syrup on top. And if you want to take it to another level, finish it off with some whipped cream!

WHAT TO PUT ON SOURDOUGH FRENCH TOAST 

This french toast is so good on its own, but there are a few ways that I love jazzing up this deliciousness - try out one of these ways to top off your sourdough french toast.

For a classic french toast experience, just put on some butter, a drizzle of pure maple syrup, and sprinkle some powdered sugar on top. 

Or, if you love peanut butter and jelly, make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich out of it. Just put peanut butter on one piece of french toast, this strawberry compote on another, and put them together!

One of my favorite combinations is spreading almond butter on the pieces of french toast and putting a freshly sliced banana on top.

Another topper is to just put any fresh fruit like some fresh berries on your french toast and a drizzle of maple syrup. 

If you want to enhance the flavors of this french toast, put a slap of butter on the warm pieces of bread, sprinkle on some cinnamon and sugar, and finish it off with maple syrup and whipped cream. Gah, I love doing that too.

Honestly though, any way you decide to eat this sourdough french toast, you will love it! 

HOW TO STORE YOUR SOURDOUGH FRENCH TOAST

So, this recipe will make 6 slices of french toast. And if you are making it for the whole family, feel free to double or triple the recipe so everyone can have a few slices of this deliciousness. 

Now, this french toast is best fresh, and I doubt you'll have any leftovers. But if you do, I suggest freezing them - it makes for an excellent quick breakfast, brunch, or snack! 

To freeze, first lay your french toast in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Then place the tray in the freezer for about 30 minutes, remove the french toast, and put the slices in a freezer-safe bag.

Your leftovers will keep at the best quality in the freezer for 1 month but can be stored for up to 2 months.

How To Reheat French Toast

Another thing I love about this recipe is how delicious it tastes reheated.

Then to reheat your french toast, you can put it in the toaster oven - it's like you're having frozen french toast you bought from the store but so much better.

And you could also reheat it by putting it in the microwave for a few seconds until warm, or you can reheat it in the oven.

WRAPPING IT ALL UP

This sourdough french toast is sure to become a family favorite. It is kid-approved, and everyone who eats it just can't get enough. You'll probably end up having to make more every time. 

After you try it, you'll see why this is THE BEST french toast you can make.
