    Oven Baked French Toast Fondue to make for brunch
    French Toast in the oven with dips

    This oven baked french toast fondue makes standard breakfast fare into an event! Flip your go-to French toast recipe on its head with these quick fondue bites.


    Serving up a piping hot breakfast has to be one of the tastiest and heart-warming moments of the week. After all, there’s nothing better than waking up knowing you’re about to eat fluffy pancakes, eggs, bacon, creamy hot cereal, or stuffed French toast. Breakfast really is the meal of dreams.

    Whether you’re making breakfast for friends, whipping up a special brunch, or cooking for the family over the holidays – breakfast foods are sure to please.

    This quick and easy twist on your standard eggy bread (French toast or pain perdu if you will) is a bite-sized fondue breakfast everyone can dip and dunk.

    These oven baked French toast fondue sticks are fun for the family or a brunch buffet.

    What kind of bread should you use to make French toast?

    While you can use just about any bread for French toast, it’s best to turn to the pros. After all, it’s not named after the French for nothing! When grocery shopping, find a soft and fresh French bread like brioche. Brioche can be purchased by the loaf so you can slice, dice and cube it as thick as your heart desires. You can also use a loaf of French bread, or  American white bread (I like the thick-cut Texas Toast loaves). If you need to do your grocery shopping in advance, make sure to store your bread in a a bread box so it doesn’t get stale.

    Is baked French toast easy to make?

    Let’s just say the oven makes this easy breakfast even easier. No more standing over the stove to flip slice after slice of egg-washed bread. Simply cut your bread into cubes, whisk together your egg wash, pop them onto a baking sheet, and toss them into the oven while you prep your toppings. When your little golden bites are done, simply take them out and remove the fondue bites with a rubber spatula. For extra pizzazz you can serve your French toast bites on white party trays, where you can fit a little bowl of dipping sauce on the end.

    Oven baked French toast fondue makes a brunch much more fun and delicious.

    What are some go-to toppings for baked French toast?

    This French toast fondue wouldn’t be fondue without the fixings. Dips! A quick apricot dipping sauce (apricot jam and orange juice) makes this dish super special. The little bites are also great with syrup and can be paired with endless toppings. I love serving them with coconut flakes, chopped pistachios, and diced fruit to thread onto the fondue skewers. Personalize and create your own toppings and share your favorites below!

    My hack for making these oven baked French toast fondue bites easy, is to cook them all at once instead of slaving over the stove!

    This baked French toast recipe is the perfect dish for a baby shower, open house, or for kicking around the house on a lazy Saturday morning. For the tastiest results, serve this dish while it’s hot! But don’t worry, it can also be served at room temperature or on a buffet. Remember to double, or even triple the recipe if you’re cooking for a crowd!
