Ingredients

¾ cup Just Egg
¾ cup plant-based milk (soy or almond milk)
½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (substitute ground cinnamon)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon maple syrup
10 slices sturdy bread

Cups - Metric

Instructions

Pour the Just Egg, milk, spice, vanilla, and maple syrup in a bowl. Whisk to combine.
Preheat a griddle to medium heat, or 350°F/175°C. Spray with vegetable cooking spray or add up to a teaspoon of coconut oil.
Dip each bread slice in the Just Egg mixture. If you're using thin bread like sandwich bread, leave the slice in the sauce for a few seconds on each side. This bread absorbs quickly, and it won't need long. If you're using sturdier bread or dry bread, dip each side for longer, like 20 to 30 seconds.
Place the dipped bread on the heated griddle and cook for up to 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown on the edges.
Top with your favorite toppings, such as coconut whipped cream, maple syrup, and fresh fruit.

Notes

Best Bread for French Toast

The best bread for French toast comes down to personal preference. Some prefer a softer, sweeter bread like brioche, while others prefer a denser, more savory bread like sourdough. Experiment with different types of vegan bread to find your perfect match!

Dipping Tip

I like to squeeze the slice of bread in the sauce to encourage it to act like a sponge and absorb as much sauce as possible. You don't want to smash the bread, but a gentle squeeze works excellently.

Cooking

If you flip your slice too early and the topping comes off (sticks to the pan), add a little bit more sauce on top and then flip it again.
