Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 8 slices of thick-cut bread (such as brioche or challah)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, for cooking
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- Fresh raspberries, for topping
- Additional powdered sugar, for serving (optional)
How to Make French Toast Stacks with Creamy Sauce
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
- Preheat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides evenly. Let any excess drip off before placing the bread on the griddle.
- Cook the French toast for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove from the griddle and keep warm while you cook the remaining slices, adding more butter as needed.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
- To assemble, stack two slices of French toast on each plate, drizzle with the creamy vanilla sauce, and top with fresh raspberries. Dust with additional powdered sugar if desired.
Tips for the Best Results
- Use day-old bread for better absorption of the egg mixture without becoming too soggy.
- Experiment with flavored extracts, such as almond or coconut, in the egg mixture for a unique twist.
- Ensure your skillet is properly preheated to achieve a nice golden crust on the French toast.
Easy Variations
- Add a splash of orange juice or zest to the egg mixture for a citrusy flavor.
- Swap raspberries for other berries like strawberries, blueberries, or blackberries.
- For a nutty flavor, sprinkle chopped nuts or granola on top of the stacks.
What to Serve With It
- Crispy bacon or sausage links for a savory contrast.
- Fresh fruit salad for added freshness and color.
- A side of yogurt for creaminess and tang.
