... Read moreI recently whipped up this Biscoff Strawberry French Toast, and honestly, it’s become my new go-to breakfast obsession! If you're looking for something that feels indulgent but is surprisingly simple to make, you've hit the jackpot. I mean, who can resist those golden-brown french toast pieces, especially when they're piled high with fresh fruit and that irresistible thick drizzle of Biscoff cookie butter?
Here’s how I make my perfect batch, ensuring every bite is pure bliss:
What you’ll need:
4-6 slices of thick bread (brioche, challah, or day-old sourdough work best!)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk (any kind!)
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of cinnamon (optional, but highly recommended!)
Butter or oil for cooking
1/4 cup Biscoff cookie butter (or more, no judgment here!)
1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
My Simple Steps to Golden Perfection:
Prepare the batter: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla extract (and cinnamon if you're using it). Make sure it’s well combined – you want a smooth, creamy mixture.
Dip the bread: Take each slice of bread and quickly dip it into the egg mixture. Don't let it soak too long, especially if your bread isn't super thick, or it'll become soggy. Just a quick dip on both sides is all you need to get that perfect coating that will crisp up beautifully.
Get cooking: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a knob of butter or a splash of oil. Once melted and shimmering, place your soaked bread slices in the pan, making sure not to overcrowd it.
Achieve that golden glow: Cook for about 2-4 minutes per side, or until each piece is beautifully golden-brown french toast pieces. This is where the magic happens! I usually peek after 2 minutes to see if it’s got that gorgeous color. The key is medium heat; too high and it'll burn before the inside cooks, too low and it won't get that lovely crust.
Warm the Biscoff: While your French toast is cooking, gently warm the Biscoff cookie butter in the microwave for about 15-30 seconds. This makes it wonderfully runny and easy to drizzle, creating that creamy, light brown sauce effect.
Assemble and devour: Stack your golden French toast pieces on a plate. Generously top them with your fresh strawberry slices. Now for the best part – liberally drizzle that warm, melted Biscoff cookie butter all over. A little dusting of powdered sugar adds a fancy touch if you're feeling extra!
I’ve found this recipe is fantastic for a weekend brunch, or even a quick weekday treat if you prep your ingredients. The combination of the warm, soft toast, tart strawberries, and the sweet, spiced cookie butter is just out of this world. You can also experiment with other fruits like raspberries or banana slices, but honestly, strawberries are a classic for a reason! Give it a try, and let me know how much you love this golden breakfast creation!
