Why You’ll Love This Recipe
What I love about making French toast on the Blackstone griddle is how perfectly golden and crispy it gets. The thick-cut bread, combined with the creamy egg mixture, gives the toast a soft, airy inside while the outside crisps up beautifully. Cooking it on the griddle also allows me to make multiple slices at once, which makes serving a crowd easier. Topped with maple syrup, powdered sugar, and fresh berries, it’s truly a breakfast treat that’s hard to resist.
Ingredients
6 slices thick-cut bread (Brioche or Texas Toast works best)
3 large eggs
3/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter (for cooking)
Maple syrup, powdered sugar, and fresh berries (for serving)
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
Directions
Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium heat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated but not overly soaked.
Melt butter on the griddle and place the coated bread slices onto the hot surface.
Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from heat and serve immediately with maple syrup, powdered sugar, and fresh berries.

Variations
Add-ins: I sometimes add a handful of chocolate chips or sliced bananas to the egg mixture for an extra treat.
Spices: You can adjust the cinnamon and even try adding nutmeg or a pinch of ginger for a unique flavor twist.
Non-dairy: To make it dairy-free, substitute the milk and cream with almond milk or coconut milk and use a non-dairy butter alternative.
Storage/Reheating
To store leftover French toast, I place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When I want to reheat it, I pop it back onto the griddle for a minute or two on each side to regain its crispy texture. You can also reheat it in the toaster for a quick fix.

FAQs
Can I use regular bread instead of thick-cut bread?
Yes! I prefer thick-cut bread like Brioche or Texas Toast because it holds up well in the egg mixture, but regular bread will still work. Just be sure not to soak it too long.
Can I make this French toast without a Blackstone griddle?
Of course! You can make this French toast on any griddle or non-stick skillet. Just heat it to medium and follow the same cooking instructions.
Can I freeze leftover French toast?
Yes! I freeze leftover slices by placing them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freezing them for a couple of hours. Once frozen, I store them in a freezer-safe bag for up to a month. To reheat, I pop them in the toaster or oven.
What type of syrup should I use?
I always use pure maple syrup, but you can use any syrup you prefer. If you’re feeling adventurous, try fruit syrups or even a drizzle of chocolate syrup!
Can I make this recipe dairy-free or gluten-free?
Absolutely! For a dairy-free version, swap out the milk and cream for non-dairy alternatives and use a dairy-free butter. For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free bread, and make sure all other ingredients are suitable.
Conclusion
Blackstone French toast is the perfect combination of crispy and fluffy, and it’s so easy to make on the griddle. Whether you’re cooking for yourself or a crowd, this recipe is bound to become a favorite. The creamy egg mixture with cinnamon and vanilla gives it a comforting flavor, and the toppings bring everything together. It’s a breakfast I can always count on to start the day on a delicious note.
