A clever way to handle those leftover hot dog buns from summer barbecues is turning them into French toast. When your kitchen is overflowing with more buns than hot dogs, traditional uses seem limited. But thanks to food blogger Adam Roberts from The Amateur Gourmet, there’s a brilliant solution: hot dog bun French toast.
Here’s why it works: Hot dog buns tend to get stale quickly, but stale bread is actually ideal for French toast. By soaking the bun halves in a custard mixture of milk, eggs, vanilla extract, sugar, and salt, then frying them until crispy and golden, you transform them into a delicious breakfast treat. Drizzle with maple syrup and maybe sprinkle on some slivered almonds for extra flavor.
It’s a simple recipe that anyone can master. Just separate the buns, dip them in the custard, fry until golden brown on both sides, and enjoy a delightful twist on a classic breakfast dish. It’s a win-win solution for using up those leftover buns while indulging in a tasty morning meal.
