Mediterranean Diet Friendly Gluten Free French Toast

Golden, custardy slices of gluten free bread soak up a rich mixture of eggs, cinnamon, and vanilla before hitting a hot skillet for that irresistible deep-brown crust. Every bite is tender in the middle with just the right amount of crisp edge, and a dusting of cinnamon brings warmth without heaping on sugar. Fresh berries piled on top add natural sweetness and a pop of color, keeping the whole plate leaning on whole, simple ingredients rather than anything processed. A light drizzle of maple syrup finishes things off without overwhelming the dish. This is a great option for a Mediterranean-style breakfast, pairing satisfying comfort food with a lighter, produce-forward approach. It's easy enough for a weekday morning but feels special enough for a weekend brunch table.

Ingredients

4 servings

8 slices gluten free bread (about ¾ inch thick)
Simple Kneads Quinoa Oil Free Organic Artisan Gluten Free Bread
Pacha Multi-Seed Sourdough Buckwheat Organic & Gluten Free Bread Loaf
See all
4 large eggs
¾ cup whole milk
Chef's tip
Use the same amount. Whole milk is richer, so a lower-fat milk will make the dish a little less creamy. This matters most in baking and custards, where the extra fat adds richness.
2 tbsp granulated sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same amount and stir until it dissolves. Honey tastes a touch sweeter, so you can also use slightly less.
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp salt
2 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.

Whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt in a shallow baking dish until fully combined and no streaks of egg white remain.
2
Lay 2–3 slices of gluten free bread in the custard mixture and let them soak for 30 seconds per side, until the custard is absorbed but the slices are not falling apart. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining slices.
