Ingredients
This recipe makes enough for two people, so multiply as necessary.
- 4 large slices of crusty bread, roughly ¾” thick if possible
- 4 eggs
- ½ cup of milk, ideally with a fat content of 2% or more
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1/2 tablespoon of brown sugar
- 1 pinch of nutmeg
- 4 tablespoons of butter if you’re using a griddle
- Maple syrup
- Fresh fruit of your choice
Preparation Directions
- In a large flat-bottomed bowl or dish, combine the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, brown sugar, and nutmeg.
- Whisk the mixture until the cinnamon clumps break up and disperse.
- Set the mixture aside until you’re ready to grill.
- Slice the bread to your desired thickness if it’s not sliced already.
Grilling Directions
- Preheat the grill to medium heat.
- Once the grill has reached the desired temperature, ensure you thoroughly clean the grates if you aren’t using a griddle or skillet.
- After you clean the grilling grates, lightly brush them with oil, but be careful not to use too much as it will flare up. Place a dollop of butter onto your griddle if you’ve chosen to use that method.
- Dip a slice of bread into the egg mixture and flip it. Ensure both sides are thoroughly coated with the mixture.
- Place the coated slice of bread onto the grill and flip it after roughly two minutes or once the bread has started to brown.
- Remove the French toast from the grill once both sides are lightly browned, and the inside has cooked through.
- Repeat this process until all of your slices are cooked.
- Shut off the grill and plate your delicious grilled French toast with some fresh fruit and maple syrup.
Pro Tip – Lightly dust your grilled French toast with powdered sugar and a small dollop of whip cream for a true restaurant brunch experience.
This grilled French toast recipe will quickly become a favourite at your breakfast table. But we should warn you: like any recipe, once you’ve tried it on the grill, you’ll never want it any other way!
