This simple Blackstone French Toast Recipe soaks thick slices of cinnamon-swirl brioche in a sweet, spiced egg wash and browns them right on your Blackstone griddle for a crisp, golden exterior and a tender, custardy inside.
Blackstone French Toast Recipe
Perfect for weekend breakfasts, a relaxed brunch, or a cozy weeknight “brinner,” this Blackstone French toast is easy to make and full of flavor. Using a griddle gives you even browning and plenty of space to cook a large batch for a crowd.
While brioche or a cinnamon swirl loaf make an especially rich and indulgent French toast, you can use whatever bread you have on hand — from bakery brioche to sturdy sandwich bread. Thicker slices work best because they absorb the egg mixture without falling apart.

How To Make This Recipe
This overview summarizes the method so you know what to expect. Follow the full recipe card below for quantities and exact timings when cooking.
- Mix the custard – Whisk eggs with cinnamon, sugar, vanilla, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy. This ensures an even custard that soaks the bread uniformly.
- Preheat the griddle – Heat your Blackstone to low–medium low. You want the surface hot enough to brown the toast slowly so the center cooks through without burning the exterior. About 2–3 minutes per side is typical.
- Soak and cook – Spread a thin layer of butter across the cooking area, dip slices of bread into the egg mixture on both sides, then place them onto the griddle. Flip once the first side is golden and set, then cook the second side until both sides are evenly browned.
- Serve immediately – Top with a pat of butter and warm maple syrup. Serve while hot for the best texture and flavor.
Recipe FAQ
French toast stores well. Cool completely, then refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze single layers in a freezer-safe bag with parchment between slices.
Reheat in a toaster or toaster oven for a crisp exterior and warm interior. An air fryer set to a low temperature works well, and the microwave can be used for a quick warm-up if texture is less important.

Tips for success: use day-old or slightly stale bread if possible so it soaks the custard without collapsing; avoid soaking slices for too long if your bread is very soft; and keep the griddle at a steady low-medium heat to achieve a golden crust and fully cooked interior. For variations, add a splash of orange liqueur or citrus zest to the egg wash, or sprinkle powdered sugar and fresh berries on top when serving.
With this method, you can easily scale the recipe up or down, cook multiple batches on the griddle, and serve a delicious, restaurant-style French toast at home. Enjoy!
