Description

Indulge in the comforting warmth of Mission French Toast, a breakfast classic elevated with fresh seasonal berries. This dish features thick-cut bread soaked in a rich, aromatic custard and cooked until golden brown and crisp on the outside while remaining tender within. The addition of fresh blueberries and strawberries provides a burst of sweet-tart flavor that cuts through the richness of the toast. Perfect for a leisurely weekend brunch or a special morning treat, this recipe brings together simple ingredients to create a memorable dining experience. Serve immediately with a drizzle of syrup for the best texture and flavor.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Prepare the batter by whisking together egg whites, milk, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a shallow bowl until smooth.
  2. Slice the bread into 1/2 inch thick pieces if not already pre-sliced.
  3. Dip each slice of bread into the batter, ensuring both sides are fully coated but not soggy.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil.
  5. Cook the soaked bread slices for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. While the toast cooks, wash and hull the fresh strawberries and blueberries.
  7. Arrange the cooked french toast on serving plates.
  8. Top each serving with fresh blueberries and strawberries.
  9. Serve immediately with optional maple syrup or powdered sugar.

Note

For best results, use day-old bread as it absorbs the custard better without falling apart.

If you prefer a warmer topping, you can gently heat the berries with a little sugar in a pan before serving.

This recipe can be adapted for dietary needs by using plant-based milk and egg substitutes for the batter.
