This French Toast Recipe is the reason I started liking French Toast!

I have always been a pancake person but making these Sourdough French Toast Bites have given french toast a place in my breakfast routine.

They are so incredibly delicious and the sourdough bread adds a nice flavor.

The Best Breads for Making French Toast

While French Toast can be made with truly any bread. There are some that work better than others!

In this recipe, I use sourdough bread. I like to get it fresh from the bakery, however, there are great options at your local grocery store that will work just as well.

Some other breads that are perfect for making French Toast are Brioche, Challah and your classic sliced white bread.

How to Make Sourdough French Toast Bites

Add the almond milk to a shallow dish
Crack the eggs into the dish
Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract and ground cinnamon
Whisk until fully combined
Slice the sourdough bread into bite-sized pieces
Add about 10 pieces to the mixture, soaking and flipping them to coat the other side
Transfer to a heated sauté pan (over medium heat) that has been greased with butter or coated with non-stick spray
Flip each French Toast Bite after about 2 minutes and it has a nice golden brown color
Cook another 2 minutes or until golden and remove from the pan
Repeat this process until all the bites are used up
Top the French Toast Bites with some fresh berries and a maple syrup drizzle
Enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to use sourdough bread?

Nope! You can really use any sliced bread that you have on hand. However, sourdough soaks up the french toast mixture very well and is delicious of course.

Can this recipe be made vegan?

Substitute the eggs with 2 flax eggs. To make, add 2 tbsp of ground flax seed to 4 tbsp of water. Mix and let sit for 10 minutes prior to using in the recipe.

How do I know it’s time to flip the French Toast Bites?

I like to get a nice caramelization on the bread and I lift it up slightly after about 2 minutes to check. Once ready, I flip and crisp up the other side before removing from the pan.

Can I make this ahead of time and reheat?

Yes! You can make up to two days ahead for ultimate freshness. Just keep in the fridge and reheat in the microwave until warm when ready to eat.

How do I store any leftovers?

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for 1 month.
