This Red Velvet French Toast recipe delivers a decadent twist on the classic breakfast favorite with rich cocoa and vanilla flavors. Perfectly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, these French toast slices are enhanced by a luscious cream cheese glaze or a drizzle of syrup for an indulgent morning treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Batter:

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Other:

  • 8 slices of bread (preferably thick-cut)
  • 2 tablespoons butter for cooking
  • Cream cheese glaze (optional): cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, milk (quantities as desired)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and sugar until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  2. Dip the bread: Submerge each bread slice into the prepared egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated but not overly saturated to avoid sogginess.
  3. Cook the French toast: Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt butter to coat the surface. Place the dipped bread slices onto the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until each side is golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Serve warm: Remove the French toast from the skillet and serve immediately. Optionally, top with cream cheese glaze or your favorite syrup for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Use thick-cut bread such as brioche or Texas toast for best texture.
  • Adjust sugar quantity based on sweetness preference.
  • If using cream cheese glaze, prepare by mixing softened cream cheese with powdered sugar, a splash of vanilla, and enough milk to reach a drizzle consistency.
  • Ensure the pan temperature is moderate to avoid burning the cocoa batter before the inside cooks.
  • Can be served with fresh berries or powdered sugar for added garnish.
