Bailey’s French Toast Recipe

Baileys French Toast Recipe

We love this classic French toast recipe with our own little twist! Bread, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a little bit of nutmeg…so delicious! Our special ingredient is Bailey’s. This recipe is very easy to make for a sweet and/or savory weekend breakfast.

Special Treat!

French toast is always a special treat. It is also a decadent brunch option for special occasions like birthdays or a special holiday breakfast like St. Patrick’s Day, because of the Bailey’s of course! It is also a nice addition to a Christmas breakfast or brunch with a nice cup of hot chocolate. Our favorite hot chocolate is the Williams Sonoma Salted Carmel.

What Bread to Use?

Challah or brioche are the best bread options. Both loaves of bread taste very similar. The only difference is that challah bread is a Jewish/Kosher bread, so it does not contain any dairy while brioche bread is made with butter.

Endless Possibilities

The best things about French toast are the endless possibilities with all the different toppings you can add. You can do anything from plain butter and maple syrup to chocolate syrup and whipped cream. You can make it as savory or as sweet as you would like depending on your mood or what you have in the refrigerator.

Sweet Options

Some great options for decadent recipes include chocolate sauce, peanut butter, and bananas. If looking for something lighter you can add fresh fruit, whipped cream, and some golden syrup. Whipped cream and strawberries are almost like having a strawberry shortcake for breakfast…Yum!

Savory Options

A great option will be to make it into a breakfast sandwich with ham and Swiss cheese. You could also add some bacon and cheddar cheese. Another great alternative would be adding your favorite sausage patty to this French toast.

Boozy Baileys French Toast

We took our classic French toast recipe and decided to put a little twist on it and make it into a more adult-friendly boozy French toast recipe. By adding a little bit of Bailey’s Irish cream to the egg mixture. We elevated the flavor profile of this classic recipe. This small addition adds a little sweetness with a hint of vanilla and chocolate giving this recipe a great flavor. To make the cooking process even more fun we make ourselves Irish coffee to sip.

Toppings

We decided to use fresh berries and whipped cream to balance out the flavors.

Leftovers

If you have some leftovers. You can store them in the fridge in an airtight container for a couple of days. For best results, reheat them in the toaster oven or a regular oven on a cookie sheet for the best results.

Directions

1. Place bread on a cutting board and slice the bread into inch slices. Set aside.

2. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and Bailey’s Irish Cream.

3. Place a frying pan on the stove and spray it with cooking spray. 

4. Turn the stove on to medium heat.

5. Once the frying pan is heated, take a slice of bread and do a couple of quick dips on each side of the bread into Bailey’s egg mixture. You want to make it quick so you don’t get the bread too soggy.

6. Make sure each side is evenly coated with the egg mixture.

7. Next place the bread into the frying pan.

8. Depending on the size of the frying pan you can add 2 to 3 slices of bread at a time.

9. You will want to cook each side until you have a golden brown edge. About 2-3 minutes on each side.

10. Place two pieces of French toast on a plate.

11. Next, add the butter and syrup. As much or as little as you prefer.

12. Then top Bailey’s French Toast with the raspberries and chocolate chips and a dollop of whipping cream
