why we love this just egg french toast

French toast is just as easy and simple as pancakes but feels more elevated and special for some reason. Here are a few reasons we love this recipe and you will too!

• Quick and Easy: This vegan french toast is super simple to make since it uses a bottle of Just Egg as the base of the custard.

• No Bananas Needed: If you’re not a fan of banana-based french toast, then this recipe is for you!

• Sweetly Spiced and Pan-Fried: The thick slices of sourdough bread perfectly soak up all the sweet cinnamon custard and when pan-fried and topped with powdered sugar, make a delicious sweet brunch!

why this recipe works

No eggs are necessary for this Just Egg French Toast! A lot of vegan french toast recipes call for banana as the base of the custard. While I love using bananas from time to time, sometimes I want french toast that is as close as possible to the kind I grew up eating.

The JUST Egg thickens the custard and soaks into the bread giving the french toast a creamy texture inside, but a crispy texture on the outside.

the just egg french toast ingredients

One of the things I love about this recipe is how dang simple it is. You only need a couple of ingredients. Buuut like most recipes that only use a few ingredients, it’s important that you’re using high-quality ingredients. For example, if you use thin low-quality bread, the french toast will turn out soggy and well…not very good.

You’ll need to gather the following ingredients to make the Just Egg French Toast:

• Just Egg
• Good Quality Sourdough Bread
• Plant Milk, I used Oat Milk
• Vanilla Extract
• Pure Maple Syrup
• Cinnamon
• Nutmeg
• Vegan Butter, for pan frying

where to buy Just Egg

If you’ve never used Just Egg, let me introduce you to it. Just Egg is a completely plant-based substitute for eggs. What makes it so different from other vegan egg replacers is that it can actually be eaten on its own. You can scramble it up and it tastes shockingly similar to scrambled eggs. I wish this was sponsored but alas, I just love this product and have been using it for years.

I’ve use Just Egg to make vegan egg salad, vegan quiches and more!

Just Egg is pretty easy to find. You’re going to want to look for the bottled Just Egg (not the frozen, folded Just Egg). I’m able to find it at my local Kroger, as well as Target and Walmart. You can also find it at health food stores like Whole Foods.

sourdough bread

I chose to use sourdough bread in this recipe which gives the french toast a unique tangy taste and a great texture. The key to this recipe turning out smooth, creamy, and ‘eggy’ on the inside but not soggy is the type of bread you use. It’s super important that you use a high-quality bread, preferably one that comes in a whole loaf that you can slice yourself.

I cut my sourdough loaf into slices that were about 1/2 an inch to 3/4 of an inch thick.

equipment and tools

You really only need a couple of tools to make this french toast, which hopefully you already have on hand!

• A large shallow bowl is super handy for soaking the bread.

• I actually used a 9×13″ baking pan to mix the custard up in and soak the bread. This allowed me to soak 2 slices of bread in the custard mixture at a time.

• You’ll also need a non-stick pan or a griddle to pan fry the french toast.

how to make the Just Egg french toast

The prep time for this vegan french toast is super fast. It takes about 10 minutes to mix together the custard and soak the bread. And it only takes a couple of minutes to pan-fry it.

Below are the main steps for making this Just Egg French Toast:

1. In a large shallow bowl or baking dish, mix together the custard ingredients. 
2. Place 1-2 slices of the bread into the custard mixture. Let the bread soak for 2-3 minutes, then flip the bread and soak the other side for 3-5 minutes.
3. In a non-stick skillet, melt the vegan butter over medium heat. Place the soaked bread into the pan and fry each side for 3-5 minutes or until browned. 
4. Repeat with the remaining slices of bread.
