Step-by-Step: How to Make Soufflé French Toast

Step 1: Prepare the Egg Mixture

1. Separate the egg yolks and whites into two different bowls.
2. In the bowl with the yolks, whisk together sugar, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 2: Whip the Egg Whites

1. Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.
2. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the egg yolk mixture, being careful not to deflate them.

Step 3: Soak the Bread

2. Let the excess mixture drip off before placing it on a plate.

Step 4: Cook to Perfection

1. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Add butter and oil.
2. Place the soaked bread slices in the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.

Pro Tips for the Best Soufflé French Toast

⭐ Use thick bread slices – Thin slices won’t hold up well in the egg mixture.
⭐ Don’t over-soak – Too much liquid makes it soggy. Dip just enough to coat.
⭐ Cook on low heat – Prevents burning and ensures a fluffy inside.
⭐ Whip egg whites properly – This is what makes the toast soufflé-like!

Serving Suggestions & Variations

• Classic Style: Serve with maple syrup and powdered sugar.
• Nutty Delight: Add slivered almonds or chopped pecans.
• Chocolate Lovers: Drizzle with melted chocolate and add cocoa powder.
• Savory Twist: Skip the sugar and vanilla, and top with cheese and herbs.
