Why You’ll Love This Recipe
After making French toast on a stovetop pan for years, switching to the Blackstone was a total game-changer. The large cooking surface lets you make multiple slices at once, and the even heat gives you that perfect golden crust without burning.
As a food blogger and weekend breakfast lover, I can honestly say this method is easier, faster, and more fun. Plus, cleanup is a breeze!
The Blackstone is great for cooking large breakfasts on like these Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls on Blackstone
Ingredients Needed
- 8 slices thick-cut bread (like brioche, Texas toast, or sourdough)
- 4 large eggs
- ¾ cup milk (or half & half for richness)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Butter or oil, for greasing the griddle
Substitution Tips
- Dairy-Free: Use almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk.
- Low Carb/Keto: Use low-carb bread and unsweetened almond milk. Aldi has a really good Keto friendly bread every now and then. – Try making this Weight Watchers Bread (Low Carb) for this french toast.
- WW-Friendly: Use low-calorie bread like Sarah Lee and unsweetened almond milk, and skip the butter or use a light spray.
How to Make Blackstone French Toast
Step 1 Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium heat (around 350°F).
Step 2 Whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt in a shallow dish.
Step 3 Dip each bread slice into the egg mixture, coating both sides fully but not soaking too long.
Step 4 Grease the griddle lightly with butter or oil. Cook the French toast for 2–3 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 4 Serve warm with toppings like fresh fruit, syrup, powdered sugar, or Greek yogurt.
Pro Tips
- Use day-old bread or slightly dry it out in the oven first—this helps it soak up the custard without falling apart.
- Don’t overcrowd the griddle—leave space to flip easily.
- Keep warm in the oven (200°F) if you’re cooking in batches.
