We have another delicious French toast recipe for you today. This pineapple French toast is so very simple to make. To make it even better, I was able to find Hawaiian bread sliced one-inch thick in my local grocery store bakery. It’s perfect for this recipe. Don’t worry if you can’t find it though. French bread or regular white or wheat bread would work just as well. Whatever you use. just make sure it is at least a day old. If the bread is too fresh it will soak up too much of the egg mixture and become too soggy.

Two slices of golden brown bread on a griddle
Turn bread and cook on the other side for about 5 minutes or until well-browned and brown sugar is melted.
Spatula pressing on slice of golden brown bread on griddle
If necessary, press on bread with a spatula to help brown sugar make contact with the hot griddle surface. This will help to caramelize the sugar.

Serve immediately. This pineapple French toast is plenty sweet enough on its own, but you can serve it with some warm homemade syrup, if you’d like.
