Notes
Optional Variations
-
- Try other loaves. Brioche, challah, sweet Hawaiian bread, and even my brioche-based babka (chocolate hazelnut, raspberry pecan, or s’mores) would be delightful enriched breads to use in place of sourdough.
- Make it a breakfast sandwich. It might sound decadent, but using your sourdough french toast as the base for a cheesy, eggy, meaty breakfast sandwich is a seriously delicious move that I wholeheartedly recommend you try.
- Make it non-dairy. Plant-based milk and dairy can certainly be used in place of traditional dairy.
- Use brown sugar. Adding a tablespoon or two of brown sugar to the custard base will make your french toast even more caramelized and luxurious.
