Notes

  • Bread, For bread, I would suggest using brioche or challah or any other bread which do not have eggs in it because if use any store-bought bride it would just wipe off the purpose of making French toast without eggs, so If we are going for a complete eggless French toast then our bread should be eggless too. Let me quickly tell you few names of some bread which do not have eggs in it sourdough, challah, brioche, and stale-sandwich bread these are some loaves of bread you can use. Oh and there’s one more thing about bread that is its thickness. For a French toast, the average thickness of bread should be ½ inch thick or you can even use ¾ inch thickness bread too.
  • Cornstarch is going to be the substitute for eggs, you can also custard powder because custard powder itself is cornstarch with food color and vanilla flavor. I would suggest you use custard powder because it will give the exact same feel as the batter with eggs in it. Also, the sugar and custard powder will give the crust a nice feel.

Tips and Tricks

There are not any specific tips or tricks for making these simple, delicious eggless French toast, still, there are some things that you can keep in mind whenever making these delights. 

  1. Avoid dipping the bread in the milk mixture for a longer period of time as it will make the bread soggy. Just dip it for few seconds on both sides and you are done;
  2. It is really important that you stir the mixture before dipping the bread in the mixture because the cornstarch settles down if not stirred occasionally;
  3. Use a wipe every time you take a slice off the skillet and always put the flame on medium or else it will burn the butter and French toast won’t taste as good as it should be.
  4. If you are a fan of cinnamon, just pour a little on top after making your French toasts. Trust me, you aren’t going to want to eat them again without cinnamon.
