9 Ways to Stuff French Toast

When plain seems lame.

1. DARK CHOCOLATE AND CRANBERRIES

Is it breakfast? Dessert? Whatever. Theobroma cacao and tart fruit take this well over the top, until you don’t know where you are.

2. RASPBERRIES AND COCONUT CREAM

Friday Is Cake Night’s overnight stuffed French toast recipe is makeable the night before, obviously, so you can wake up in some total fantasy of vanilla and cream cheese.

3. MASCARPONE, CHOCOLATE, AND ESPRESSO

You can skip your morning latte and get your caffeine fix straight from Sweet Peas & Saffron’s stuffed espresso French toast.

4. PUMPKIN CREAM CHEESE

Nothing better than French toast than with a seasonal twist. Feed your fall fever (even after fall’s over) with Vegan Yack Attack's pumpkin cream cheese French toast.

5. PEACHES AND MOZZ

Yummy Supper’s French toast sandwich mixes fresh stone fruit with gooey mozzarella cheese for an unusual twist on brunch.

6. SPINACH, RICOTTA, AND MARINARA

French toast doesn’t have to be sweet to be amazing, and Jessica in the Kitchen proves it with her savory stuffed French toast filled with spinach, ricotta, and garlic and smothered in marina sauce.

7. BACON, GOAT CHEESE, AND APPLES

Another way to make French toast savory is to stuff it with the unexpected—here, sweet apples temper the tanginess of a surprise.

8. APPLE PIE FILLING

No need to pick between your favorite desserts (or guilty breakfasts). Pass the Sushi creates the ultimate mash-up.

9. RASPBERRIES AND RICOTTA

Sweetened ricotta is the secret ingredient in this stuffed French toast from TasteSpotting. Raspberries make it irresistible.
