Trader Joe's knows their way around breakfast, and the Brioche French Toast is proof that sometimes classic is best. This isn't a brand-new product, but it has been glow-up'd. It's now made with thicker slices of brioche, and honestly, it's better for it. You'll find four generous pieces per box, frozen and ready to meet your toaster oven or skillet.

Review
Brioche is already the gold standard for French toast, and this delivers the soft, custard-like center with a slightly crisp edge that makes mornings worth waking up for. From the texture to the subtle vanilla and eggy notes, Trader Joe's didn't overcomplicate things; they just did it right.
This is the kind of breakfast item you grab when you want to feel like you made something fancy, without actually having to turn on the stove or dirty a bowl. The slices are thick, hearty, and taste like they were cooked up fresh at your favorite diner. You know how some frozen French toast ends up rubbery or sad? Not this one. It actually tastes homemade.
The flavor is balanced. Slightly sweet, eggy in the best way, and it takes on syrup like a champ. The edges get just crispy enough if you toast or skillet-fry it, and the center stays tender without being soggy. I followed the directions exactly and didn't need to tweak anything. It's a dependable frozen breakfast that feels like more than just "meh."
How to Serve
Top with maple syrup and a pat of butter for a traditional take, or pile on sliced bananas and a dollop of whipped cream if you're feeling brunch-y. For something indulgent, add a swipe of Trader Joe's Speculoos Cookie Butter between two slices and turn it into a stuffed French toast situation.
Creative Uses
- Slice into sticks for French toast dippers
- Sandwich two pieces with cream cheese and berries for a dessert-for-breakfast vibe
- Use as a base for a sweet breakfast casserole

Do you eat anything that's not made by this Joe chap?
becomebetty says
I do. However, food blogging does take quite of a bit of time. Recently I've spent most of my evenings in physical therapy so I've been blogging about what I've been eating, so I'm hoping to get back into regular cooking with actual original recipes soon.
pauldaviescartoons says
I'm sure it does and look forward to reading about stuff you've made, as well as Joe's stuff. All good!

Hehe, to me this is a very funny thing to see pre-packaged and frozen xD But I shouldn't be surprised in the world that favors convenience so much 😛
