The Recipe How-To

Step 1: Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, whisk together 4 eggs, 1/2 cup of low-fat milk and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Then, stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon of pumpkin spice, and 2 tablespoons of unsalted melted butter. Make sure to mix the ingredients well to ensure a uniform distribution.

Step 2: Dip the Bread Slices

Take about 5 slices of thick-cut brioche bread and dip each slice into the mixture, press down to make sure the bread soaks up all the liquid. Flip the slice over and repeat on the other side until it is fully coated.

Step 3: Cook the French Toast

Preheat your non-stick griddle or pan over medium-high heat and grease with some additional butter. Once hot, place each slice on the griddle, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

Pro-tip – Play around with the temperature until you achieve crispy French toast instead of soggy undercooked ones.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy!

Serve your Spiced Latte French Toast warm with a drizzle of warm maple syrup, tart berries, and a dusting of powdered sugar. For an extra indulgent breakfast, pair with crispy bacon and a hot cup of coffee or chai spiced tea.

Substitutions and Variations

The beauty of this Spiced Latte French Toast recipe is that it can be easily customized to your liking. Here are some substitutions and variations you can make:

– Bread: While brioche bread is my go-to for french toast, you can use any bread you have on hand such as white bread or challah. If you want to make this recipe gluten-free, try using gluten-free bread.

– Milk: I use low-fat milk in this recipe, but you can substitute it with whole milk or almond milk for a dairy-free option.

– Spice: Pumpkin spice gives this recipe its signature flavor, but you can experiment with other spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg or cardamom. Chai spiced latte french toast anyone?

– Flavoring: Vanilla extract adds a wonderful aroma and depth of flavor to this recipe. You can swap it with other extracts such as almond extract or maple extract for an interesting twist.

– Toppings: Berries and maple syrup are my go-to toppings for french toast, but you can get creative here. Try adding bacon bits or chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts for a salty and crunchy contrast to the sweet French toast.

– Make-Ahead Option: Save time in the morning by making this dish ahead of time as a casserole. Simply layer slices of bread in a baking dish, pour the egg mixture over the top, refrigerate overnight and bake in the morning.

By playing around with these substitutions and variations, you’ll be able to create a unique Spiced Latte French Toast that suits your taste buds perfectly.

Serving and Pairing

Spiced Latte French Toast is a hearty breakfast treat that can be served in various ways. You can garnish it with fresh berries, whipped cream or dusted powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness.

Make-Ahead, Storing and Reheating

This Spiced Latte French Toast Recipe is perfect for meal prepping or making ahead for special occasions. To make ahead, you can assemble the dish the night before and let it sit in the fridge. When you’re ready to bake it in the morning, take it out of the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature while preheating your oven.

If you have leftovers, don’t worry! You can store them in your refrigerator for up to two days. Simply put the leftover French toast in an airtight container and store in your fridge. When reheating, use a microwave or skillet on low heat. However, be careful not to overheat, as this may cause the French toast to become dry and lose its flavor.

If you want to freeze any leftovers or make a batch of French toast for later use, you can do that too. Once fully cooled, wrap each individual slice of French toast tightly with plastic wrap and place them in an airtight container or plastic bag. These can be stored in your freezer for up to three months.

To reheat frozen French toast, thaw overnight in your refrigerator and then follow the reheating instructions above.

Overall, this recipe is perfect for meal prepping or if you want something delicious yet easy to make. Plus, storing and reheating it is also quite simple!

Tips for Perfect Results

To achieve the best results for your spiced latte french toast, here are some tips and recommendations that can help enhance the flavor and texture of your breakfast meal.

1. Use stale bread

Stale bread soaks up the custard mixture better than fresh bread, giving your spiced latte french toast a firm yet tender texture. Brioche or Challah bread work best for this recipe as they have a soft crumb and are perfect for absorbing the egg mixture.

2. Let the bread soak

After you have dipped the bread in the custard mixture, let it sit for a few seconds before placing it on the griddle. This helps ensure that every part of the bread is coated with the mixture, giving you even flavor and texture throughout.

3. Infuse your milk with spices

Before whisking together your eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and pumpkin spice mix, heat them in a saucepan until they start to steam. This allows the spices to infuse into the milk and egg mixture fully, resulting in richly flavored spiced latte french toast.

4. Don’t overcrowd the pan or griddle

Overcrowding the pan can lead to uneven cooking and make it challenging to flip each slice of bread without causing them to stick together or tear apart. Cook only a few slices at a time, adding more butter as needed.

5. Avoid using too much sugar in your custard mixture

The amount of sugar needed for this recipe is only 1/4 cup per 5 slices of brioche or challah bread since too much sugar will cause your spiced latte french toast to caramelize too quickly and won’t cook correctly from inside.

6. Control Griddle Temperature by adjusting spatula:

Using spatula press and relax routine can help you control temperature on various parts of toast evenly avoiding burnt or undercooked parts on top or bottom.

By following these tips while preparing this spiced latte french toast recipe, you can easily elevate its taste and presentation to a whole new level!
