Ingredients for Chai Spiced French Toast

This recipe is similar to a standard french toast but is spiced with all the classic flavor in chai. Here’s what you are going to need:

  • Eggs
  • Milk: I prefer to use whole milk or even half and half for french toast.
  • Cinnamon
  • Cardamom
  • Ground ginger
  • Allspice
  • Cloves
  • Thick cut brioche bread: This is my favorite type of bread to use for french toast. It’s rich, buttery and slightly sweet. If you can’t find brioche, use another variety of thick cut bread.
  • Butter: For cooking the french toast.
  • Toppings: Such as maple syrup, whipped cream, powdered sugar, fresh fruit.

Soak the French Toast

Start by grabbing out all your ingredients. I like to use a cake pan or pie plate when I’m making french toast. It’s the perfect size and depth for this recipe.

Add the eggs, milk, cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, allspice and cloves to the cake pan and whisk until well combined.

Dip each piece of bread into the mixture, allowing it to soak in about 10 seconds per side.

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the french toast until golden on each side.

Top with maple syrup, powdered sugar, whipped cream, fresh berries or whatever else you love on french toast.
