Pretzel Bread French Toast Bake

French toast made with pretzel bread has a unique and delicious flavor profile. The pretzel bread adds a subtle saltiness and a distinct chewiness to the dish, making it a delightful way to switch up traditional french toast!

Ingredients

  • Four Pretzel bread hamburger buns or six smaller pretzel buns
  • Five Lrge eggs
  • One cup Whole Milk
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Prepare the Buns: Tear the pretzel buns into 1-inch cubes. Spread the bread evenly in a greased baking dish.

  3. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

  4. Pour the egg mixture over the sliced pretzel buns, ensuring all the pieces are coated. Press down on the buns with a spatula to help them soak up the liquid.  You can also make this ahead of time and let the pretzel bread soak up the egg mixture in the refrigerator overnight. 

  5. Allow the buns to soak in the mixture for about 15-20 minutes, ensuring they absorb the liquid.

  6. Melt the butter and drizzle it over the soaked pretzel buns.

  7. Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.

  8. Remove from oven and serve
