Coffee French Toast

French toast and coffee go together so well and it’s not just because they’re both enjoyed in the early hours of the day. the combination of flavors works so well together from the rich coffee to the warm spices and the fluffy eggy bread in between. In 40 minutes, you will have the best, golden looking french toast ever. I did add coffee to my egg mixture, but you can substitute coffee extract if you prefer. The coffee flavor is not strong at all, my own kids had no trouble gobbling up this breakfast. Skip the coffee in the egg mixture if you must, but be sure to make the mocha whipped cream! The whipped cream is luscious and creamy and is a dessert on its own!

Recipe Tips

How to make french toast in advance

1. Make your french toast in the baking dish as directed.
2. Place a nice covering of plastic wrap over the top so that it doesn’t dry out.
3. Place your pan into the fridge to chill overnight, or for 8 hours.
4. In the morning, place the pan on the counter as the oven preheats. This step is especially important if you’re using a glass pan or some baking dish that shouldn’t go from extreme hot to extreme cold, as going from fridge to hot oven could cause the pan to shatter.
5. Now bake the french toast as directed and enjoy!
