Ingredients

  • 4 slices sourdough bread ideally slightly stale
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup 2% milk or soy milk
  • 2 tbsp Biscoff spread or other nut butter
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  • Place the eggs, milk, Biscoff spread, vanilla extract and cinnamon in a blender and blend on high for about 10 seconds or until the mixture is smooth.
  • Pour this into a shallow baking dish, big enough to fit a piece of bread.
  • Dip a piece of sourdough bread it in the egg mixture, soaking up the moisture for about 10-20 seconds. Flip and repeat on the other side.
  • Grease a frying pan or skillet with butter or cooking spray over medium heat and then place the soaked piece of bread on top. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
  • If your pan or skillet is large enough, you may be able to fit and cook multiple slices of sourdough at the same time.
  • Once all the bread is cooked, top with your desired ingredients and enjoy!

Notes

If you prefer to create a French Toast Casserole instead, here’s how to do that! 
  1. Preheat your oven to 350F and grease an 8”x8” baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Place the eggs, milk, Biscoff spread, vanilla extract and cinnamon in a blender and blend on high until the mixture is smooth. Pour this into a large bowl.
  3. Rip the crusty sourdough bread into slightly larger than bite sized pieces and toss into the wet ingredients until all of the bread is torn apart and in the bowl. Mix the bread into the egg mixture until each piece of the bread is soaked through.
  4. Transfer this to a greased 8x8” baking dish and sprinkle a pinch of brown sugar evenly across the casserole. Bake for 30-40 minutes uncovered, or until the bread has started to turn a golden brown and there are some crispy pieces. Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before you serve it. Finish it off with your desired toppings and enjoy! 
 

Topping suggestions

Here are some toppings you may want to try:
  • Extra Biscoff spread or nut/seed butter (ex. peanut butter, almond butter, pistachio butter, Nutella, etc.)
  • Greek yogurt (plain or flavoured)
  • Whipped cream
  • Sliced banana
  • Fresh berries
  • Chopped apples
  • Crumbled Biscoff cookies
  • Cinnamon sugar
  • Maple syrup or honey
  • A smear of butter
 

Dietary considerations:

  • Gluten free: opt for a gluten-free bread that has a soft middle and delicious crust. Instead of Biscoff spread, which contains wheat, use a nut butter like peanut butter, almond butter or nutella.
  • Lactose free: use lactose-free milk or a plant-based milk instead of dairy milk.
  • Dairy free: use a plant-based milk like soy, almond or oat milk.
