Bagel French Toast is a fun twist on the classic French toast recipe, turning bagels into a deliciously crispy, golden treat. Using bagels adds a unique texture that’s slightly chewy on the inside and perfectly crispy on the outside when soaked in a rich, cinnamon-infused egg mixture. This dish is great for brunch or a special breakfast, especially if you have some leftover bagels that need a makeover. Top it with fresh fruit, syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar for an indulgent start to the day. It’s a fantastic way to turn a simple bagel into something extraordinary!
Ingredients:
- 2 bagels, sliced in half (plain, cinnamon raisin, or your favorite flavor)
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup milk (or non-dairy alternative)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp butter, for frying
- Maple syrup, powdered sugar, and fresh fruit for serving
Instructions:
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.
- Soak the bagels: Dip each bagel half into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are well coated. Let them soak for about 30 seconds on each side to absorb the mixture.
- Cook the bagels: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Place the soaked bagel halves in the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Serve: Once cooked, remove the bagel French toast from the skillet and serve immediately with maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or any of your favorite toppings.
This Bagel French Toast is a fun, delicious twist that’s sure to be a hit at breakfast or brunch!
