Gluten-Free French Toast: Pure Bliss!
Ingredients
Method
- Whisk together the eggs, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, pure vanilla, and milk in a shallow dish such as a pie plate or casserole dish.
- Melt the butter over medium heat in a skillet.
- Dip the gluten-free bread in the egg mixture, flipping to make sure both sides get well coated. The longer you leave the bread in the egg mixture the more it will soak up the egg mixture and will take a little longer to cook.
- Cook the soaked bread piece on medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Serve immediately. To keep the French Toast warm while cooking the additional slices, place the cooked slices on a baking sheet and in the oven at 275°F.

Frequently asked questions
What kind of bread is best for gluten-free French toast?
A sturdy, slightly stale gluten-free bread works best. Look for loaves that are dense and hold their shape well, like a gluten-free challah or brioche, or even a good quality gluten-free sandwich bread. Avoid very soft or crumbly breads, as they will fall apart when dipped in the custard.
Can I make gluten-free French toast ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the custard mixture and soak the bread slices ahead of time. Store the soaked bread in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When ready to cook, proceed with pan-frying as usual. This allows the flavors to meld and results in a more custardy interior.
How do I know when gluten-free French toast is done?
Cook the French toast for 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The center should be firm and no longer wet. A good indicator is when the edges are crisp and the center is set, not liquid. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
What are some good toppings for gluten-free French toast?
Classic toppings like maple syrup, fresh berries, or powdered sugar are always a hit. For a richer experience, try a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a drizzle of fruit compote. A few toasted nuts can add a delightful crunch and extra flavor.
