Green Tip: Compared to coffee, matcha is a sustainable way to get your caffeine fix! Matcha powder is derived from a whole tea leaf (no waste!) and the crop itself takes much less water to thrive!
So, what is matcha anyway? Matcha is a high-grade green tea powder with beautiful color and an earthy, green tea taste. From cocktails to baked goods to breakfast, matcha is a delicious way to add flavor and color to any dish!

6+ Matcha Recipes That Aren’t Lattes, including this Honey Matcha French Toast
Equipment
- Matcha Whisk *or*
- Frother *or*
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk (cows or unsweetened dairy)
- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (for frying)
- 6 slices bread (brioche or Challah preferred. Stale bread works too!)
Instructions
- Crack your eggs in a large, shallow bowl and whisk in your milk.
- Sift in matcha powder and drizzle in honey. Use a matcha whisk, frother, or immersion blender to emulsify the egg wash, ensuring the matcha and honey are fully combined.
- Add about 2 tablespoons of butter to a large pan over medium heat and allow butter to melt and sizzle.
- Once your pan is hot, work quickly to dip your bread in the matcha eggwash, one slice at a time, coating it on both sides. Carefully add each slice to the hot pan, leaving an inch or two in between to make it easier to flip.
- Allow the bread to fry in the butter until golden brown (about 3 minutes) and then flip.
- Repeat steps 4 and 5 until your bread and egg wash are used up, adding more butter to your pan as needed.
- Serve immediately or keep warm in the oven at 200°F until you are ready to serve.
Pro Tips
- To avoid soggy French Toast, just dunk your bread in the egg wash and immediately transfer it to the pan. Do not allow your bread to soak in the bread wash.
