You can customize your board to your own needs or what your family loves most. To make things easy, I like to prep the French toast in advance and keep it warm in the oven until I’m ready to build the board! Cooking the bacon and/or sausage in advance too helps speed up the process as well. I bought all of my ingredients for this breakfast board at Sprouts because they have all of the organic holiday fixin’s I needed for this holiday breakfast. I love shopping there not only because it’s a one-stop shop for all of my items but because the staff is always so helpful and kind. I am always asked if I need help finding anything or get a simple “hello” from staff walking by. It’s especially nice during the holiday season to feel such a warm welcome. There a no hard and fast rules when it comes to the ingredients on your board, but here are some of my suggestions:
French Toast (recipe below) Berries (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, etc.) Jams and Jellies Syrup & Butter Bacon or Sausage Eggs: hard boiled or scrambled Chocolate Chips Yogurt Whipped Cream Powdered Sugar
Best bread for French Toast
Technically, most breads will work but there are some better options to use.
French baguette: Thick slices of French bread is what I used for this breakfast board. It’s soft on the inside, sturdy/holds up well, and is chewy. The bread needs to be dry so I toasted it in the oven at 250°F for 20 minutes, or you can leave out on the counter, sliced, overnight. Pro tip: slightly stale bread is actually the best for making French toast because stale bread absorbs more of the egg mixture than fresh bread will. Brioche is a very popular and loved bread to use. It tastes amazing, is soft and fluffy, and soaks up the egg custard perfectly. It’s sweet, buttery and oh-so delicious. Challah: also sturdy and an absolutely delicious choice for French toast. Any thick-sliced white bread: think like “Texas toast” bread.
