How To Make Baileys French Toast

Baileys French toast is made of fluffy, sweet challah bread soaked in a Baileys-infused egg wash and topped with a decadent chocolate and Baileys sauce. It’s easy to make, and the Irish cream offers so much flavor that you barely need to add any other ingredients.

Challah or brioche bread works best for this recipe since they are thick, rich, and already have great flavor. However, you can use another bread of your choice. Thinner, less sturdy bread will need less time soaking in the egg wash and will have a shorter cooking time.

This French toast can be served any time of the year. It’s great for Christmas morning or St. Patrick’s Day, but it’s also delicious on a weekend or served for a springtime brunch. It can easily be doubled or tripled for larger groups and you can turn it into an overnight French toast bake.

For the French Toast:

4 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup Baileys Irish Cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 to 6 slices challah bread
2 tablespoons butter

For the Chocolate Sauce:

4 ounces dark chocolate
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 teaspoons Baileys Irish cream

For Serving:

Whipped cream, optional
Fresh strawberries, optional

Make the Challah French Toast

Gather the ingredients.
Whisk eggs in a shallow bowl until whites and yolks are completely incorporated.
Add in milk, sugar, Baileys, and vanilla extract to eggs and whisk again.
Soak each slice of bread in egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides. Soak for a minute or so, longer if bread is extra thick, and less time if you are using a thinner bread.
Heat a skillet with a tablespoon of butter on medium-low heat. Cook French toast for 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
Keep finished French toast warm in a 200 F oven. Cook remaining French toast using remaining butter. While the French toast is cooking, gather ingredients for chocolate sauce.

Make the Chocolate Sauce

Gather the ingredients.
Add chocolate chips, heavy cream, and Baileys to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high for 30 seconds, stir, and then heat again in 15-second increments until the mixture is completely melted.
Drizzle French toast with chocolate sauce and top with whipped cream and strawberries if you wish.
