The Swiss call the baked toast Fotzelschnitten… In Austria the sweet, filled white bread slices are called Pofesen. These are many names for a fasting dish.
Prepare French toast for breakfast, serve the sweet slices as a main course during Lent.
French toast is a great cake substitute for coffee gossip. In gourmet restaurants French toast, prepared with brioche, has already been eaten as Desssert.

1. French Toast Shopping List
You need for the French toast in my way the following ingredients …
- A baker’s toast or a brioche made of yeast dough
- Cream
- Eggs
- Jam to fill
- Butter or clarified butter
- Icing sugar and cinnamon

If you find a brioche at the bakery or supermarket, be sure to try the French toast with the yeast pastry. This is very, very delicious!

2. French toast with jam or without jam or fill with chocolate cream
I know two varieties of French toast: Filled or unfilled.
2.1 Fill French Toast
If you want to fill French toast you can use jam or chocolate cream.
Place two slices of bread on the work surface, brush the bread halves with whisked egg.
Then center the desired filling on the bread slices and fold together.
Pull the filled bread slices quite quickly through the egg-cream mixture and put them directly into the hot pan and bake.

2.2 French toast unfilled
In this variant, you pull the bread slices directly through the egg-cream mixture and then quickly place the bread slices in the pan.
After baking, sprinkle the French toast with icing sugar and cinnamon. Pistachios look good in colour… Then serve maple syrup, jam, chocolate cream, fresh fruit or yoghurt as an extra.
Combine the unfilled French toast with fresh seasonal fruit. Here you can enjoy a fruit salad, strawberries and cherries, as well as fresh apricots and kiwi. © Thomas Sixt Food Photographer
3. The most important tip for preparing French Toast
If you bring toast bread or brioche with eggs and cream together, the bread immediately absorbs full. This quickly makes the bread unstable and can break easily. Therefore the following is important:
For French toast, make sure you have all the ingredients ready before moistening the toast, preheat the pan and work quickly!
Please pay attention to the temperature when baking the French toast. Connoisseurs swear by the use of butter, but sometimes it gets too hot in the pan.
As an alternative to butter, you can simply use clarified butter. Butter lard is heat resistant and tastes just as delicious!
