Gingerbread French Toast

Serving Suggestions

• Serve the Gingerbread French Toast with a drizzle of warm maple syrup. You can also sprinkle powdered sugar on top for a sweet, elegant finish.
• For an added touch, top the French toast with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The rich, creamy texture of the whipped cream complements the warm spices beautifully.
• If you’d like to add some fresh fruit to balance the sweetness, sliced apples, pears, or berries make excellent toppings. Lightly sauté the apples or pears in a little butter and cinnamon for an extra burst of flavor.
• To add a festive flair, you could sprinkle crushed candied ginger or toasted pecans on top for a crunchy, spiced contrast to the soft French toast.

Notes

• If you prefer a dairy-free option, you can substitute the milk with any plant-based milk, such as almond milk or oat milk. Make sure to choose a variety that is unsweetened for the best flavor.
• For extra richness, you can substitute some of the milk with heavy cream or half-and-half. This will make the French toast even more decadent and creamy.
• These French toasts can be made ahead of time. After cooking, let them cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, simply toast the slices in a toaster or reheat in a skillet until warmed through.
• If you’re preparing this for a crowd, you can also bake the French toast in the oven. Arrange the soaked bread slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
