Matcha French Toast
This Matcha French Toast is a fun and flavorful twist on the classic breakfast favorite! Thick slices of bread are dipped in a lightly sweet matcha custard and pan-fried until golden, then topped with powdered matcha, fruit, and maple syrup. A quick and easy breakfast idea perfect for brunch or cozy mornings.
Ingredients
- 4 slices thick bread brioche, challah or Texas toast work best
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup or honey
- 1 1/2 - 2 tsp matcha powder adjust to taste
- 1 tsp vanilla
- pinch of salt optional
Instructions
- In a wide, shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Sift in the matcha powder to avoid lumps and whisk again until smooth and evenly green.
- Dip each slice of bread into the matcha custard mixture. Let it soak for about 15–20 seconds on each side, depending on how thick your bread is. You want it to be saturated but not falling apart.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter or oil. Once hot, place the soaked bread slices onto the pan. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy around the edges.
- Transfer the French toast to a plate and add your favorite toppings. I love a light dusting of matcha sugar, fresh berries, and an extra drizzle of maple syrup.
- Enjoy your fancy (and easy!) matcha breakfast
