Serving Suggestions Blackstone French Toast

Serve slices with a pat of butter and warm maple syrup, plus fresh berries or sliced bananas for brightness. For a savory-sweet brunch board, add breakfast sausage, fresh fruit, and a crunchy appetizer like the perfect toasted ravioli. A dollop of whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar makes it Pinterest-ready.

Tips for Success Blackstone French Toast

• Preheat the griddle to medium heat (about 350–375°F) so the toast cooks through without burning.
• Use day-old, thick-cut bread — it absorbs the custard without falling apart.
• Don’t oversoak: 5–10 seconds per side is usually enough for thick slices.
• Cook in butter for deep flavor and good browning; wipe the griddle and add fresh butter between batches.
• For even faster mornings, mix the batter the night before and soak the bread briefly right before cooking.
• If you’re serving a big brunch, pair with a savory Blackstone favorite like Blackstone Bourbon Chicken to round out the menu.

variation (if any)

• Stuffed French Toast: Spread cream cheese and jam between two slices before dipping and griddling.
• Savory twist: Omit vanilla and cinnamon, add a pinch of salt, and serve with smoked salmon and chives.
• Gluten-free: Use a sturdy gluten-free loaf sliced thick.

FAQs

Q: Can I make this ahead for a crowd?
A: Yes — keep cooked slices warm in a 200°F oven on a sheet pan, or reheat gently on the griddle just before serving.

Q: Can I use milk alternatives?
A: Absolutely. Almond, oat, or soy milk work fine — they change the flavor slightly but keep the custard texture.

Q: What’s the best bread for French toast on a griddle?
A: Thick-cut brioche, challah, or Texas toast (day-old) are ideal because they hold up when soaked and caramelize nicely.

Q: How do I prevent soggy centers?
A: Use day-old bread and preheat the griddle properly. Cook a little longer at medium heat rather than searing at too-high heat.
