My husband and I LOVE warm breakfasts on the weekends. Let’s be honest – most weekdays we’re eating cereal for breakfast – but on the weekends we like to take a little more time.
We had our overnight pecan praline french toast a few weeks ago, but I wanted something a little sweeter this week. With a little bit of raspberry and crumble on top, this hit the spot.
This is so easy to make and tastes so delicious. It only requires a few simple ingredients, and they are all so yummy, and fairly inexpensive.
I am a huge french toast eater. I don’t know if I’ve ever met a piece of french toast I didn’t like, but this french toast has got to be my all time favorite. You need to try this.
what is texas toast? do i have to use it?
For this recipe, we have found that a thick cut of bread works best. Texas Toast, is exactly that. It is found on your bread aisle, and it is pretty much just a very thick cut of bread.
You of course don’t have to use that bread, you could use any thick or dryer piece of bread. Many different breads would work for this recipe.
Here are a few others we recommend:
- sour dough bread
- french bread
- hardened bread
- homemade bread
- rye bread
You could really use any cut of bread, but we prefer to leave it out for a little, allow it to get dry, and then use it. We also cut our bread into really thick slices
It needs to be thick, or else you will have bread soup the next day. Thick bread will absorb more, but not fall apart. We definitely wouldn’t recommend normal sliced bread from the store. You could use that, but only let it soak for an hour or two, then bake it. Don’t let it sit overnight.

Wow, it looks absolutely delicious! This French toast is fantastic 🙂
Where do you find Texas toast? And if you can’t find it, can you substitute with thick cut Italian/French bread?
Texas toast is on the bread aisle. Sometimes it down low or up high, not at eye level very often! You could use sliced french bread, but the crust is a little tougher than Texas Toast. But it will still work just fine!
The only Texas Toast that I’ve ever seen either has cheese on it or garlic – neither of which would you want. Where do you get your texas toast?
They sell thick sliced bread on the bread aisle at our local grocery stores. It’s called Texas Toast.
I use any hearty bread…day old works the best. I make this when camping, all our camping friends love this!
I made this last night with a mix of sourdough and challah. It’s amazing.
