And with this recipe, you will get to make your own IHOP French toast at home for you to enjoy with a nice cup of coffee.
IHOP History:
IHOP is this famous restaurant that serves the best breakfast dishes, ranging from simple pancakes to waffles, crepes, and delightful French toasts.
Pro tips:
- Avoid leaving the bread to soak in the egg mixture for a long time so that it can retain its texture.
- You can use any type of milk you prefer. They all work perfectly with this recipe.
- Don’t skip the vanilla extract, it neutralizes the flavor and adds an extra sweet taste.
- Add unsalted butter to retain the sweetness of the whole dish.
Frequently asked questions:
What are the best French toast toppings?
Well, there is a wide range of French toasts toppings, either sweet, savory, or even spicy!
You can add some salted crisped-up bacon on top or two fried eggs for a well-balanced breakfast. Or if you’re craving sweet dessert, then go for Nutella, cinnamon, pecans for extra crunchiness, PB&Js, or my personal favorite, peanut butter and banana slices!
Don’t forget the strawberries and blueberries. Point is you have so many different varieties you can choose from.
What is the best type of bread for French toast?
Always choose the fluffiest bread with the greatest moisture content you could find, like brioche or challah.
How to make the classic IHOP French toast combo?
This combo is one of my favorite dishes ever. It’s made of French toast, topped with literally everything. Bacon or sausage, hash browns, and eggs. Eggs could be cooked in any way you like.
