Calories: 170kcal
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup liquid Just Egg, (180ml)
- 2/3 cup vegan creamer or half and half (160ml)
- 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp almond extract
- 8 thick slices of dry/stale bread, (French, brioche, sourdough, etc.)
- 4 tbsp vegan butter, divided
Instructions
- Slice the bread into thick 1/2-1 inch slices if it isn’t already sliced. If your slices are on the thinner side, you’ll want to soak them for less time.
- If the bread isn’t stale, dry it out either by laying the slices out for a few hours, overnight, or baking them at 300°F for 10-15 minutes. Stale bread soaks up the custard mixture very nicely without becoming soggy.
- Mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a small bowl. Add this dry sugar and spice mixture to a large, shallow dish such as a pie pan.
- Pour the Just Egg, creamer, vanilla, and almond extract into the shallow dish. Whisk everything together until it’s well combined.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet to medium heat. Add 1 tbsp of vegan butter to the pan and make sure the pan is fully coated with it.
- Dip two slices in the custard mixture just before adding them to the hot pan. Let them soak for about 30 seconds on each side and shake off the excess before adding them to the pan. You can try to squeeze in more slices if your pan is large enough, but make sure to leave room for flipping them over.
- Pan fry the French toast slices for 3-4 minutes on each side until they’re golden brown. Use a sturdy, thin spatula turner to flip them over because a little sticking is expected.
- After you’ve cooked the first set, wipe the skillet mostly clean and add another tbsp of vegan butter for the next set of slices. Repeat the soak and cook steps until all the slices are cooked.
- Place the cooked slices in the microwave or in a covered dish to keep them warm while you’re cooking the remaining French toast. Serve the French toast warm with any of your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Notes
Tip - Mixing the spices with the sugar before adding them to the liquid helps make them less likely to float to the top of the custard mixture later.
Fixes
- Custard layer burning before the center has time to cook: The pan is too hot.
- Sticking: A little sticking is expected but it could be that the slices are not ready to be flipped or the pan needs more butter.
