30+ Amazing French Toast Recipes That Make You Rethink Breakfast

I have always loved the sweet and savory combination of breakfast.  Alongside the rich flavors of French toast recipes, you could have a salty, crispy piece of bacon, and it was expected. 

This list of amazing French toast recipe ideas is just a small portion of my love for breakfast.  You can have basic toast with syrup as you did as a child. 

Alternately, you can choose a decadent meal stuffed with fruit, cream, and drizzle with fresh maple syrup. 

No matter the time you have to cook, you’ll find a great choice on this list. 

30+ Amazing French Toast Recipe Ideas That Will Make You Think Differently About Breakfast

Breakfast anyone? Any time I’m invited to meet a friend for a meal, I secretly wish for breakfast. 

I try to plan around restaurants that offer great breakfast and brunch recipes all day long. 

It gives me the option of a rich breakfast treat and offers a variety of things for others at the table. One of my first choices is usually French toast. 

My favorite local places have incredible decadent choices that are a level above basic, and that pleases my breakfast-loving soul. 

What is the Best Bread for French Toast

My immediate response is going to be a nice thick slice of something like a Texas toast if you are in a hurry and don’t have a local bakery. 

Otherwise, a good sourdough brings out amazing flavors, or any homemade French bread is ideal for soaking up the liquid mixture and imparting flavor.  

Another secret tip many restaurants and chefs use is to grab day-old bread or sweet bread like raisin bread, banana bread, or cinnamon bread for their French toast recipe. 

So yummy and has great added flavor!
