JUST Egg French Toast

Kayla
JUST Egg French Toast is made with thick sliced bread that's dipped in a sweet and flavorful custard, and then pan fried until crisp. The outside is perfectly crispy while the center is soft and creamy. You'd never guess it's dairy free or vegan!

Equipment

  • A large non-stick skillet
  • A pie dish, large shallow bowl or an 8 by 8 square baking pan

Ingredients
  

French toast custard

  • ¾ cup JUST Egg
  • 1 cup dairy-free half and half see notes for substitutions
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • pinch nutmeg optional
  • ½ tablespoon vanilla extract or 1 ½ teaspoons
  • 2 tablespoons non-dairy butter for greasing the skillet
  • 12 slices thick sliced bread such as artisan bread, see notes

Instructions
 

  • In a large and shallow dish, such as a pie dish, mix together the ingredients for the custard.
  • Using a large non-stick pan, turn the heat up to about medium and rub the pan with the dairy-free butter.
  • When the pan is hot, quickly soak one piece of bread at a time, covering both sides with the custard. You want to do this part quickly because soaking the bread too long will result in mushy French toast that doesn't flip as well.
  • Cook each side for about 3 to 4 minutes. If the French toast is sticking to the pan, it's either because it's not ready to be flipped, the heat is too high or there's not enough butter in the pan. Make sure to butter the pan as needed throughout the cooking process. If you're using a good non-stick pan, this shouldn't be much of a problem.
  • Serve with pure maple syrup, fresh berries and optional powdered sugar and vegan whipped cream! Enjoy!

Notes

  • Don't soak the bread until its ready to go on the hot pan! This can leave you with soggy bread.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for about 2 days.
  • If you can't find dairy-free half and half (I use the Silk brand) then you could use a mix of ½ cup of creamy oat milk and ½ cup of coconut milk (from the carton). If these options do not work for you, it is okay to use other types of dairy-free milk (such as 1 cup of almond milk).  
  • Use thick sliced artisan bread, vegan brioche, Challah or sourdough bread. 
  • If you don't plan on using the entire batch of custard at once, store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few days until you're ready to use it.
