Blackstone Griddle: French Toast
French toast is a breakfast classic that is perfect for lazy weekend mornings or a special brunch. And if you're looking for a way to make it even better, cooking it on a 36-inch Blackstone griddle is the way to go. This griddle is perfect for cooking large batches of French toast quickly and evenly, so you can enjoy a delicious breakfast with your family or friends. In this article, we will walk you through the steps to cook the ultimate French toast on a 36-inch Blackstone griddle.
Ingredients:
1 loaf of bread (we recommend brioche or challah)
4 eggs
1 cup of milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp sugar
Butter, for cooking
Maple syrup and powdered sugar, for serving
Instructions:
Preheat your 36-inch Blackstone griddle to medium heat. You want it to be hot enough to cook the French toast quickly but not so hot that it burns.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar until well combined.
Slice the bread into thick slices, about 1 inch thick.
Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides. Let the excess egg mixture drip off the bread before placing it on the griddle.
Add a tablespoon of butter to the griddle and let it melt. Place the bread slices on the griddle and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Once the French toast is cooked, transfer it to a plate and cover with a piece of foil to keep it warm.
Repeat the process with the remaining slices of bread, adding more butter to the griddle as needed.
Once all the French toast is cooked, serve it warm with maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar.
Tips:
If you're cooking for a large group, you can keep the cooked French toast warm in the oven set to 200°F until you're ready to serve.
For an extra crispy French toast, you can add a tablespoon of cornstarch to the egg mixture.
If you want to add some fruit to your French toast, you can top it with sliced bananas or strawberries, or even add a layer of sliced fruit in between the bread slices before cooking.
Cooking French toast on a 36-inch Blackstone griddle is a great way to make a large batch of delicious breakfast in no time. With a few simple ingredients and the right cooking techniques, you can impress your family and friends with your culinary skills. So fire up your griddle and start cooking!
