    • Just Egg French Toast
    • Comments

    French toast (sometimes referred to as "eggy bread") is one of my favorite breakfasts. Somehow it feels more decadent and special than pancakes, and it's just as easy to make.

    Typically French toast is made by combining eggs with milk or cream to form a creamy custard. Thick slices of bread are soaked in the custard and fried to golden perfection.

    In this recipe, Just Egg, a creamy egg replacer, replaces chicken eggs. Almond milk is swapped for cow's milk...and there you have it...the best dang vegan French toast EVER!

    Top Tip: If you're look for fabulous Just Egg recipes, be sure to check out my Just Egg roundup.

    What Are The Ingredients in JUST Egg?

    So, what exactly is JUST egg? And, is it healthy?

    JUST egg is a delicious sustainable egg made entirely from plants. These are the ingredients listed on the back of the bottle:

    Ingredients: Water, Mung Bean Protein Isolate, Expeller-Pressed Canola Oil, Contains less than 2% of Dehydrated Onion, Gellan Gum, Natural Carrot Extractives (color), Natural Flavors, Natural Turmeric Extractives (color), Potassium Citrate, Salt, Soy Lecithin, Sugar, Tapioca Syrup, Tetrasodium Pyrophosphate, Transglutaminase, Nisin (preservative). (Contains soy.)

    Amazon reviewers give it rave reviews, claiming that it looks and tastes like chicken eggs. And, I have to agree!

    I decided to give it a try in this French toast recipe, and honestly, I couldn't tell the difference between French toast made with chicken eggs, and Just egg French toast.

    But, is JUST egg healthy? The answer is yes! JUST egg is:

    • Cholesterol Free
    • A source of plant based protein (one serving contains 5 g)
    • Egg Free
    • Dairy Free
    • Non-GMO
    • Allergy Friendly

    Just Egg French Toast Ingredients

    Ingredients

    • JUST Egg: The sustainable, plant based egg replacer that looks and tastes like chicken eggs.
    • Bread: I recommend a thick bakery white bread. Sourdough works well here. You'll need 1 inch thick slices, so choose a bread that you can slice yourself.
    • Almond Milk : I used almond milk, and it worked perfectly, but feel free to use whatever plant based milk you have on hand.
    • Cinnamon: Sweet, woody cinnamon adds a warm, cozy note to JUST egg French toast.
    • Nutmeg: Just a pinch is all you need to complement the cinnamon.
    • Salt: Salt is optional. If you're on a low salt diet, it's perfectly fine to omit it.
    • Vanilla Extract: We'll be using quite a bit of vanilla in this recipe. I always recommend buying the best quality vanilla you can afford. It makes such a big difference to the taste of baked goods, and this French toast is no exception.
    • Vegan Butter: We'll be using vegan butter and vegetable oil to fry the French toast.
    • Vegetable Oil: Choose a neutral flavored vegetable oil.

    How To Make Just Egg French Toast

    Here's how to make the best vegan French toast EVER!

    • Preheat your oven to 250 F (120 C). Get out a baking sheet and a wire rack that's suitable for using in the oven.
    • In a medium sized bowl whisk together your JUST Egg, almond milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon and salt.
    • Slice your bread into six 1 inch slices.
    • In a large baking tray, lay out your slices of bread. Pour the Just egg mixture over the bread and turn each slice over in the mixture. Leave it to soak in for 5 minutes. If the pan is not large enough to lay your French toast out flat, ensure that each slice is coated in the egg mixture.
    • Heat 1ยฝ tablespoons of your vegan butter and 1ยฝ tablespoons of your vegetable oil in a large non-stick saute pan. Fry French toast for 3-4 minutes on each side. Transfer to the wire rack and and transfer it to the oven while the rest of the French toast is cooking.
    • After 3 slices of bread have been fried, wipe out the pan and add the remaining 1ยฝ tablespoons of vegan butter and 1ยฝ tablespoons of vegetable oil to the pan. Fry your remaining three slices of bread, transferring each slice to the oven when it's finished cooking.
    • Enjoy with lots of fresh fruit and maple syrup!

    Serving Suggestions

    • Go classic and top your French toast with maple syrup.
    • Grill some peaches and serve them with your French toast.
    • Serve with a side of dulce de leche for a decadent breakfast treat.
    • Sprinkle some powdered sugar over the top.
    • Serve with vegan sausage or try my vegan bacon recipe.
    • Top with my cinnamon roasted bananas or air fryer apples.

      I didnโ€™t live this recipe. I thought five min soaking was way too long. I had very thick, old bread and the inside was a soggy mess. I ended up eating the edge, which were good but I didnโ€™t care for the nutmeg flavor. I should have gone with my gut and fried it much earlier. Seems like others enjoyed it though, so maybe I just donโ€™t like my French toast that way.

        Hi Karra, I'm sorry to hear it didn't work out for you. I've tested this recipe many times, and I have always found 5 minutes to be the optimal amount of soaking time. Typically French toast bread should be about an inch thick. I can say that that the kind of bread you use can impact the soaking time. A very sturdy bread (like say a baguette) can take quite a bit of soaking, whereas a thin white bread might need only one minute on each side. I will add that to the recipe notes. Thank you very much for your feedback! x

      My God! I believe this is the best French Toast I have ever experienced. My husband, the gourmet cook in our vegan family, served it with bananas, strawberries, and blueberries and of course, the finest dark maple syrup. We also enjoyed a Beyond Sausage (Hot Italian). This was a breakfast that seemed to shout "Fancy, upscale, hoity-toity, luxury. Here it was in our own sweet dining room. UNBELIEVABLE!
