Easy Baileys French Toast Recipe: the perfect boozy breakfast or brunch. French toast made with Irish cream.

This Bailey’s French Toast is the perfect treat for brunch. If you’re a fan of Bailey’s Irish Cream, then you’ll love this recipe. It’s especially great as a St. Patrick’s Day treat, but it’s wonderful for any special occasions, or just to turn your regular weekend breakfast into something special with a decadent French toast.

Baileys Irish Cream

Baileys Irish cream is a alcoholic beverage made with cream, condensed milk, cocoa, and Irish whiskey, you can even make a homemade Baileys yourself. For this recipe though, we’ll stick to the already made version. The baileys adds so much flavor to this recipe that you can skip adding vanilla extract to the french toast. If you’re a chocolate lover, this Baileys French toast recipe is great with some shaved chocolate over top, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup, since there’s actually cocoa in the Irish cream it pairs very well together. You might even want to serve this with a hot chocolate, or better yet an Irish coffee.

We served ours with some Baileys whipped cream for our boozy brunch. This is a great way to accentuate the Baileys flavor even more. You could also do a regular whipped cream if you prefer. And we’ve served ours with a drizzle of syrup, for us it has to be pure maple syrup for the best taste. Fresh berries, or sliced bananas are also a great accompaniment also. You can also add a sprinkle of ground cinnamon if you’re a cinnamon lover.

Bread

We’re using a thick sliced white bread for this recipe. The best bread for this recipe is a sturdy bread. The thick slices of bread work very well for soaking up the egg mixture without getting too soggy. You could also use something like an egg bread, Italian loaf, French bread, Challah bread, or brioche bread. French toast is traditionally made with stale bread, as a way of using it up. So if you’ve got some bread that’s been around for a couple of days, this is a great way of reviving it, and turning it into a special treat.

We like to cook the French toast bread slices in fresh butter, rather than using a cooking spray, because the butter adds great, rich flavor to our to our decadent recipe.
