How to Make Your Egg Yolk Stuffed French Toast
Here is the step-by-step guide for this French Toast recipe that ensures a delicious outcome with the perfect runny yolk, where each bite encapsulates the perfect balance of textures and flavors.

Prepare the Bread Sandwich
Begin by cutting a square out of one bread slices, creating the perfect pocket. Spread half of the peanut butter on top and layer it with another slice. Crack the eggs, separating the yolks into your small dish for the french toast mixture.
Gently pour the egg yolks into the bread pocket. Spread the remaining peanut butter around the edges and close the sandwich with another slice, securing the runny yolks within.
Whisk Up the French Toast Batter
In a separate dish, combine the egg whites, vanilla protein shake, vanilla extract, and a pinch of cinnamon. Whisk until smooth, creating a luscious batter for your French toast.
Dip your assembled bread sandwich into the batter, ensuring a quick and even coat on all sides. The protein-rich blend adds a delightful texture to the exterior. Don’t soak it for too long otherwise the bread will get soggy and you will have to cook it for longer – potentially not allowing for the runny yolk!

Cook to Golden Perfection
Heat a pan with coconut oil spray over medium to high heat. Place your coated sandwich in the pan, cooking it evenly on all sides until achieving a golden-brown perfection. Be cautious not to overcook, preserving the gooey yolks inside.
Top and Enjoy
Finish off your masterpiece by drizzling sugar-free syrup and sprinkling powdered sugar on top. Cut into the middle, revealing the delightful fusion of crispy exterior and runny yolk. Now, savor the indulgence of your Egg Yolk Stuffed French Toast creation!

Tips and Tricks
Here are some valuable tips and tricks to make your preparation of the French Toast even more enjoyable and successful and make sure you get the best runny yolk!
- Temperature Control is Key: Maintain a medium to high heat for cooking, ensuring a golden exterior while preserving the gooey yolks inside. Don’t rush the process; a patiently cooked French toast is the secret to perfection.
- Swift Coating for Crispy Texture: When dipping the sandwich in the batter, move swiftly to ensure an even coating. This technique ensures you don’t have a soggy french toast but still have the runny yolk inside.
- Selecting the Right Bread: Opt for a high-protein bread to elevate the nutritional value. Experiment with different varieties for a personalized touch to your Egg Yolk Stuffed French Toast.
- Cook on High Heat: Cook your french toast on high heat and evenly on all edges to ensure the egg batter on the outside cooks but still keeps the yolk inside undercooked so you get that perfect runny yolk when you cut into it.
- Use a Non-Stick Pan: A non-stick pan is ideal for this recipe as it prevents the ingredients from sticking and makes cleaning up a breeze.
Storage Instructions
While this Stuffed French Toast creation is best enjoyed fresh off the pan, leftovers can be stored for later indulgence.
- Reheating for Revival: If you find yourself with leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. To revive the crispiness, gently reheat in a toaster or oven.
- Separate Syrup and Sugar: If storing for later consumption, consider keeping the syrup and powdered sugar separate until serving. This ensures the toppings maintain their intended textures.
- Portion for Perfect Enjoyment: If planning to store individual servings, portioning before refrigeration allows for convenient and quick reheating, ensuring each bite retains its original charm.
These tips guarantee not only a successful cooking experience but also provide insights into preserving the delightful qualities of your Egg Yolk Stuffed French Toast for whenever the craving strikes.
