I’m not a huge fan of normal French toast. I know, blasphemy. It takes forever to make and by the time a few slices are done, the others are cold and then the butter doesn’t melt and the syrup makes it colder. I thought about making brioche French toast with the new Trader Joe’s bread but then thought maybe a casserole might work better? I knew I would be using Just Egg (the vegan liquid egg substitute) but thought this will have all the flavor but be easier to make and ready for everyone at the same time!
So you’ll need vegan brioche. You could use French bread and that will taste fine but the brioche makes it extra special. As I mentioned, Trader Joe’s sells it now and there’s also La Boulangerie brand from San Francisco which can be found at some Whole Foods Market stores and can be ordered online and Sprouts Market makes a loaf as well. Then you’ll need the Just Egg, some vegan half and half, maple syrup and cinnamon sugar.
This casserole is great as is with some maple syrup and powdered sugar on top but even better with a drizzle of an easy glaze and fresh fruit (I chose raspberries) so it’s up to you. You can make this in a square or oblong baking dish. I used a 9×13 but it will be thicker in a 9×9 pan and may just have to cook a little longer.
You could add in chocolate chips if you’d like or swirls of peanut butter, fresh or frozen berries, chopped bananas, nuts, or dried fruits! You could even add vegan breakfast sausages to it if you love that sweet and savory vibe. There’s no wrong way to eat this!
