HOW DO YOU SUBSTITUTE EGGS IN FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE RECIPE?
To mimic the “eggy” flavor and texture you will need three ingredients: cornstarch, black salt or kala namak and nutritional yeast.
Black salt or kala namak is a type of rock salt, a salty and pungent-smelling condiment used in South Asia. This salt is used in many vegan/eggless recipes to mimic the flavor of the eggs.
Nutritional yeast is a deactivated yeast that comes in the form of flakes or as a yellow powder. Its flavor is described as nutty, cheesy, and creamy. This ingredient will help to replicate the creaminess and richness of the egg yolks
HOW DO YOU MAKE FRENCH TOAST WITHOUT EGGS?
- Prepare the eggless custard.
- Arrange bread in the baking dish and pour the mixture over the bread.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- Sprinkle the with nut and sugar, if desired.
- Bake and enjoy it!

Eggless French Toast Casserole
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup (360 ml) milk (I used whole)
- ½ cup (65 gr) cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 4 tablespoons (60 ml) pure maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon black salt
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) pure vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons (60 gr) butter, melted + more for butter the baking dish
- 6 slices of bread (thick slices, approx.1-inch)
- ½ cup pecans, chopped (optional)
- 3 tablespoons (36 gr) granulated sugar
For serving (optional):
- Pure maple syrup
- Confectioner’s sugar powdered sugar, for dusting
- Fresh blueberries for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix milk, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, maple syrup, black salt, nutritional yeast, vanilla, and half of the melted butter.
- Arrange slices of bread in a generously buttered baking dish in 2 rows, overlapping the slices.
- Pour milk mixture over the bread slices, making sure all are covered evenly with the mixture; spoon some of the milk mixture in between the slices, if necessary. Cover with foil and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- When ready to bake, preheat oven to 375º F/ 190º C.
- Remove the foil. Top with pecans and sprinkle with 3 tablespoons sugar. Then drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Bake, uncovered for 20 – 25 minutes, or until lightly brown on top. TIP: After the initial 20 -25 minutes of baking, I usually turn on the oven broil and bake the casserole for additional 3- 5 minutes until the top is golden brown because we like it crunchier. If you like it soft don't need to do this extra step.
- Dust with confectioner’s sugar, if desired, drizzle warm with pure maple syrup and fresh blueberries. Serve immediately.
