Why Make French Toast in an Instant Pot?
Using an Instant Pot makes French Toast super easy and mess-free. It cooks evenly, stays moist, and you won’t have to worry about flipping slices on a stove. Plus, the warm, spiced aroma fills your kitchen as it cooks.
Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 6 slices of bread (any type – brioche works great!)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (or your favorite milk alternative)
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- A pinch of salt
- Butter or non-stick spray for greasing
Instructions
-
Prepare the Bread
- Cut the bread slices into cubes. You can use slightly stale bread for better absorption.
-
Make the Custard Mix
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
-
Combine Bread and Custard
- Grease a round oven-safe dish that fits into your Instant Pot. Place the bread cubes into the dish. Pour the custard mix over the bread, making sure every piece is soaked. Let it sit for 5 minutes to absorb the liquid.
-
Set Up the Instant Pot
- Add 1 cup of water to the Instant Pot and place the trivet inside. Cover the bread dish with aluminum foil and place it on the trivet.
-
Cook
- Close the lid, set the valve to sealing, and cook on high pressure for 20 minutes. After cooking, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes before opening the lid.
-
Serve
- Carefully remove the dish from the Instant Pot. You can serve it straight from the dish or flip it onto a plate for a fancy presentation.
Toppings to Try
-
French Toast is even better with toppings! Here are some ideas:
- Maple syrup
- Fresh berries
- Whipped cream
- Powdered sugar
- Nutella or peanut butter
Final Tips
-
- Use bread that’s a day or two old—it holds up better in the custard.
- Experiment with flavors by adding nutmeg, orange zest, or even chocolate chips to the mix.
Enjoy your warm and comforting French Toast with family or friends. This easy Instant Pot recipe is sure to become a favorite in your home!
