🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. I like to get a little dramatic with the hot sauce—a good splash, you know? But adjust to your spice preference!
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated. Don’t rush this step; make sure the bread soaks up the liquid for nice, tender French toast.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add a tablespoon or two of butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking. Trust me, this is super important to prevent sticking.
- Carefully place the bread slices in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. I usually check for doneness by gently pressing down on the French toast; it should feel firm and springy.
- While the French toast is cooking, shred the chicken and mix it with a bit of ranch dressing (or your favorite dip). I love to add some extra spice with a dash of extra hot sauce, but that's totally up to you!
- Once the French toast is cooked, layer the shredded chicken mixture onto the top of each slice. It's the perfect savory sweet combination!
- If you have a toaster oven, pop the stuffed French toast in for a few minutes to melt the cheese a bit more. Or, if you're using a regular oven, pop them on a baking sheet at 350°F (175°C) until the cheese melts and is slightly browned.
- Serve immediately, garnished with your favorite toppings! Personally, I can’t get enough of extra hot sauce, crumbled blue cheese, and a side of ranch for dipping. OMG, it's soooooo good!
- Get creative! Don’t be afraid to experiment with different cheeses, hot sauces, or even add some crispy bacon for that extra smoky flavor. What are some of your favorite flavor combinations?
📝 Notes
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your desired spice level. Don’t be shy!
- For extra flavor, you can marinate the chicken in some of the hot sauce mixture before shredding it.
- Feel free to add other toppings, such as shredded cheddar cheese, jalapenos, or green onions. Get creative!
