French Toast with Pistachio Cream

Hello everyone, and happy new year! We’re back with another recipe, and we’re kicking 2025 off strong with one of the best breakfast foods of all time: french toast.

Who wants to feel like royalty every day? I know I want to.

We talk about kindness a lot here at Nuttinosh, and it’s one of our brand values. When we ship out our orders of pistachio butter, we like to include little kindness cards of something we can do to make someone else’s day a little brighter! Small gestures like giving a heartfelt compliment, tipping a little extra at the restaurant, or lending a helping hand to a friend during a tough time can all make a bigger difference than we realize!

That’s what this French Toast with Pistachio Cream makes me think of - it’s such a joyful recipe, and a great way to spread the love to our family, friends and loved ones on a regular morning. Maybe the weather is crummy. Make some french toast. Maybe Kuldeep has had some stressful days at work. Make some french toast. Maybe I’ve had a long week, and could just use a little happiness in my morning. Make some french toast!

And really, our Nuttinosh takes this recipe up a notch. Pistachio butter and french toast are a match made in heaven! We get richness, we get savory, we get our morning protein in from the pistachio butter, we get all of the good things that a hearty breakfast should be.

I’m excited to share this one! Here is our French Toast with Pistachio Cream:

Let’s Break It Down! Here’s what you need for your French Toast:

A thick-cut bread of choice. Thicker sliced bread often makes the best french toast because it can soak up our coating and get a beautifully toasted exterior. I prefer to use a brioche, or a challah!

Eggs and Milk. If you’re a french toast connoisseur, you know that we need our eggs and milk to make our bread coating. This mixture is integral to french toast, and making sure our edges toast through properly.

Nuttinosh Roasted Pistachio Butter. Putting the “pistachio” in our Pistachio French Toast, our Nuttinosh is the key element! I typically use our original Roasted Pistachio Butter for this recipe.

Honey. The touch of honey makes the perfect little addition of sweetness to our french toast, and is a tasty balance with our pistachio butter.

I like making these breakfast recipes because you can often customize them as you like! Top these toasts with raspberries, blueberries, an extra dollop of Nuttinosh pistachio butter, a dust of cinnamon, or more chopped pistachios - everyone can pick their favorite to enjoy.

Even if the family is just sitting down for another breakfast together, this French Toast with Pistachio Cream can make any breakfast feel like a special occasion!
