Bagel French Toast Recipe

American · Main course · 22 min total

Turn day-old bagels into a decadent breakfast with this easy twist on classic French toast. The chewy interior and crisp exterior make for a satisfying morning treat.

Ingredients

• 2 large day-old bagels (plain or everything)
• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, for frying

Instructions

1. Slice each bagel horizontally into 2 or 3 even rings (about 1/2-inch thick).
2. In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
3. Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon butter.
4. Dip each bagel ring into the egg mixture, letting it soak for about 15 seconds per side. Do not oversoak or bagels will become soggy.
5. Place soaked bagel rings in the hot skillet. Cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining bagels, adding more butter as needed.
6. Serve immediately with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Tips

• Use day-old bagels for best texture; fresh bagels may become too soft.
• For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the egg mixture.
• Keep cooked French toast warm in a 200°F oven while cooking remaining batches.
