With its rich, creamy Baileys Irish Cream flavor and the hints of vanilla and cinnamon, this breakfast favorite is sure to become a new breakfast staple.
Here are the Ingredients for making Baileys Irish Cream French Toast
All it takes to serve our Irish Cream French toast is a few simple ingredients like a cup Baileys Irish cream liquor, and a few slices bread. You likely already have the other breakfast staples in your refrigerator.
- Vanilla cream brioche bread
- Eggs
- Baileys irish cream liquor - we recommend that you use Baileys original Irish cream, not any of the other varieties
- Milk
- butter
HINT: We got this vanilla cream brioche bread at Walmart. If you don't have the available where you live, I'd suggest using a regular brioche and adding ¼ teaspoon of pure vanilla extract to your egg mixture to recreate that vanilla essence.
However, the recipe still works with just regular brioche!
We recommend that you also have whipped cream, powdered sugar and fresh berries on hand for serving this spiked french toast.

Directions for how to make our tasty Baileys French toast recipe
Follow these simple steps to create the best homemade Baileys French toast that will impress even the most discerning brunch guests.
Begin by slicing your brioche bread into 14 slices. They should be just about 1" thick. Set your slices bread aside.
In a shallow mixing bowl, you are going to add together your eggs, Baileys Irish Cream liquor and the milk.

Make sure that you are evenly coating both sides.
Once the butter is melted, dredge the slices bread into the egg and liquor mixture quickly.
Fry your bread on the hot skillet on both sides for about 2-3 minutes each.
Hint: The French toast slices should be a nice light golden brown on each side.

FAQs about our Baileys French Toast
Baileys Irish Cream Liquor only has 17% alcohol by volume. It is not the same as drinking a hard liquor. So while this boozy french toast recipe is definitely not for children, the low Bailey alcohol percentage really should not get an adult drunk.
Since the Baileys percentage of alcohol is so low, you can NOT put Baileys in the freezer. It will actually become a slushy and will not go back to its original consistency even when defrosted.

Hi. I am giving your recipe a 5 star rating because it sounds delicious. I love Bailey's and my husband and I love French Toast, and I am always looking for new and different ways to make it. I have not made this yet because I have not been able to find vanilla cream brioche bread. I have not found it online, in my grocery store, and I didn't see a recipe for it on your website. Can you tell me where I can find vanilla cream brioche bread? Thanks.

It is at walmart! You can use any kind of brioche bread to make this though. I would suggest adding 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extra to your egg mix. I just updated the recipe card with these details. Thank you for your comment!
