French toast has always been one of my favorite breakfast treats. It is simple, comforting, and so easy to customize depending on what you are craving or who you are feeding. Over the years, I have tested quite a few versions in my kitchen, from skillet-style to baked casseroles to fun roll-ups.
Whether you are planning a quiet weekend breakfast or prepping for a holiday brunch, there is a French toast recipe here that works perfectly.
Why French Toast is So Versatile
What makes French toast such a reliable favorite is how easily it adapts. You can use thick slices of buttery brioche, layer in fruit like strawberries or blueberries, bake it into a warm casserole, or even roll it up for a kid-friendly option.
Here are all my favorite tested French toast recipes, each with its own unique spin.
Brioche French Toast
Brioche French toast is my go-to when I want rich, custardy French toast with classic golden edges and a soft, buttery center. Using thick-sliced brioche bread makes all the difference and creates a simple, elegant breakfast that works for both everyday mornings and special occasions like Mother’s Day or Christmas brunch.
French Toast Casserole
When I need something I can prep ahead or serve to a crowd, French toast casserole always comes out perfectly. This baked version lets thick bread slices soak in a sweet custard overnight, so all you have to do is pop it in the oven the next morning.
Blueberry French Toast Casserole
For a fresh, fruity twist on the classic casserole, this blueberry version adds bursts of sweetness in every bite. Blueberries pair perfectly with the soft custard and make the whole dish feel light and bright without any extra work.
Strawberry French Toast Bake
This strawberry French toast bake is another easy option when you want something a little different. The fresh strawberries bake into the custard, adding flavor and color, and it makes a beautiful dish for brunch tables and holiday mornings.
Overnight Cinnamon Roll French Toast Casserole
This overnight cinnamon roll French toast casserole takes everything you love about French toast and adds the fun flavors of cinnamon rolls. You prep it the night before, let the flavors soak in, and bake it fresh in the morning for an easy, warm, and sweet breakfast that feels perfect for holidays or weekend mornings.
French Toast Waffles
If you want to switch things up, these French toast waffles combine the soft inside of French toast with the crisp texture of waffles. They are fun, easy to make, and always a hit with kids and adults alike.
French Toast Roll-Ups
French toast roll-ups are perfect for quick, handheld breakfasts or brunch platters. Rolled, filled, and cooked to golden perfection, they are fun to serve and even more fun to eat.
Build Your French Toast Brunch Board
One of my favorite ways to serve multiple French toast options is to turn them into a full brunch board or personal charcuterie box.
You can mix skillet-style brioche slices, mini roll-ups, and casserole squares alongside fresh fruit, bacon, powdered sugar, syrups, and whipped cream. It is easy, pretty, and lets everyone build their plate just the way they like it. This is great for birthdays, holidays, and Mothers Day spreads.
