Steps

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.
  2. Spread dulce de leche on one slice of bread, then top with the second slice.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little butter.
  4. Dip the stuffed bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
  5. Place the bread in the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  6. Remove from the skillet, dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve warm.

Tips for Dulce de Leche Stuffed French Toast

  • Use sturdy, slightly stale bread so it holds the filling without becoming soggy.
  • A well-browned exterior should feel lightly crisp, while the center stays soft and the dulce de leche turns warm and gooey.
  • Let the toast rest briefly before cutting; this helps the filling settle and reduces the chance of it squeezing out.

Drink pairing

A cup of black coffee
Its roasted bitterness balances the sweet, creamy dulce de leche.

0% option: A cup of unsweetened black tea

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and keep for 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot; the bread may soften in storage.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the center is cooked through?
The outside should be evenly golden, and the egg mixture in the center should look set rather than wet when you gently part the slices.

Can I assemble it ahead of time?
For the best texture, assemble and dip just before cooking; a long soak can make the bread soggy and cause the filling to leak.

What can I serve alongside it?
Fresh berries or sliced fruit add a bright contrast to the sweet, rich filling; serve with coffee or tea for breakfast.
