This slightly tangy Sourdough French toastRecipe is the perfect way to start your day! The natural structure of sourdough bread gives this dish a crispy outside and a soft, custardy center, making every bite irresistible. With simple pantry staples like eggs, milk, and cinnamon, this recipe comes together in under 20 minutes,
In a shallow dish, whisk together the 5 eggs, heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and sugar until smooth and well combined.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
Dip each slice of sourdough bread into the custard mixture, letting it soak for 10-15 seconds per side to fully absorb the flavors without becoming overly saturated.
Place the soaked slices onto the preheated skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp around the edges.
Transfer the French toast to serving plates. Dust with powdered sugar, add a dollop of whipped cream, and drizzle with blueberry syrup or compote, if desired. Serve immediately.
