Give French toast a holiday makeover! Transform plain white bread into spiced Gingerbread French Toast — cookie cutters are optional, but it makes breakfast even more magical! You’re never too old for gingerbread boys and girls, or snowflakes, right? With the help of my trusty cookie cutters and a little extra spice, French toast is instantly a little more Christmas-y! Quickly dunked in a batter infused with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger, plain old bread is transformed with gingerbread flavors!

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp. Oil divided

  • 1/4 tsp. ginger

  • 1/4 tsp. cloves

  • 1/4 tsp. nutmeg

  • 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon

  • 1/4 tsp. kosher salt

  • 1 tbsp. granulated sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1/2 cup buttermilk

  • 6 slices thick-sliced white bread

Method

  • 01
    If using cookie cutters, cut out desired shapes in the bread. (Reserve scraps for another use, or cook as a special treat for the cook.) I was able to cut out 4 large snowflakes and 4 gingerbread boys/girls out of 6 slices of bread.
  • 02
    In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger.
  • 03
    Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Coat the pan with about 1 tablespoon of Oil.
  • 04
    When the oil is heated through, quickly dunk one of your bread pieces into the batter, gently shaking off excess (you do not want it to get too soaked if you are using white bread. If you are using a thicker bread, like challah, then you'll have more wiggle room), and add to the pan.
  • 05
    Repeat for remaining pieces of bread, working in batches, leaving at least an inch of space between pieces. When one side of the french toast is golden brown, flip and cook for another minute or so more until golden on the other side.
  • 06
    As you work in batches, add more oil as necessary to the pan. If you are making 4 snowflakes and 4 gingerbread boys/girls like I did, you should be able to do this in two even batches. Transfer to a serving dish and serve immediately with powdered sugar or maple syrup.
