Homemade Brunch Delight: Soft Morning Bun French Toast Recipe
Today, we’re sharing a delightful recipe for French toast made with soft morning buns! While typically made with bread slices, using morning buns makes them easier to eat and gives them a uniquely chewy texture, resulting in an even more appealing toast. Soaking the chewy morning buns generously in a rich egg and milk mixture creates a wonderfully soft and moist interior. This makes it a perfect option for breakfast or a lovely home brunch. Serve it with your favorite seasonal fruits for a sweet and tangy addition that boosts nutrition. Let’s walk through how to make wonderfully moist and soft morning bun French toast step-by-step.
Main Ingredients- 4-5 Morning Buns
- 2 Eggs
- 50ml Milk
- 1 Tbsp Sugar
- 20g Butter
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 4 to 5 morning buns. Using a bread knife, lightly score the top of the buns or slice them in half horizontally. This helps the egg mixture soak in more effectively and makes them easier to handle.
Step 2
Prepare the fruits you’ll use as a topping for the French toast. Wash the seasonal strawberries thoroughly, remove the stems, and cut them into bite-sized pieces. You can also use blueberries or other seasonal fruits you enjoy.
Step 3
In a bowl, crack in 2 eggs. Add 50ml of milk and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Whisk everything together until the eggs, milk, and sugar are well combined and smooth. You can adjust the amount of sugar to your preference; feel free to add a little more if you like it sweeter.
Step 4
Place the halved morning buns into the prepared egg mixture. Gently press them down to ensure both sides are evenly coated and soaked. Let them sit for about 1 to 2 minutes to allow the egg mixture to fully absorb into the buns. This step is key to achieving a wonderfully moist French toast.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Add about 1 tablespoon (20g) of butter and let it melt. It’s important to keep the heat low to prevent the butter from burning. While you can use cooking oil, butter adds a much richer flavor and aroma to your French toast.
Step 6
Carefully place the egg-soaked morning buns into the melted butter. Cook over low heat, turning occasionally. Because the egg mixture contains sugar and butter is used for cooking, high heat can cause them to burn quickly. Low and slow is the way to go to ensure the inside is cooked through and the exterior turns a beautiful golden brown on both sides.
Step 7
Once golden brown, arrange the prepared fresh fruits beautifully on top of the French toast. For an extra touch, sprinkle with powdered sugar, or serve with maple syrup, honey, or a dusting of cinnamon powder. This combination of chewy morning bun and moist eggy coating makes for a fantastic home brunch that rivals any café. Enjoy this delicious treat!
