The Double-Dipped French Toast breakfast is prepared with brioche bread that has been dipped in a vanilla batter, then dipped a second time in corn flakes and oatmeal before heading to the griddle. As well as combining three staples of a hearty breakfast, the dish can also be served with a consumer's choice of either Cinnamon Sugar or Lemon Strawberry topping. Other hybrid breakfast recipes that are emerging to make breakfast choices that much easier include the Cinnamon French Toast Breakfast Sandwich from [Carl's Jr](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spicy-breakfast-burger). and [Sonic's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sonics-blue-blur-special) French Toaster Breakfast Sandwich. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Hybrid Breakfast Dishes:** The combination of different breakfast staples creates innovative and convenient breakfast options. - **Customized Toppings:** Allowing consumers to choose their own toppings adds a personal touch and enhances the breakfast experience. - **Breakfast Sandwich Innovation:** Incorporating French toast into breakfast sandwiches introduces a novel twist to traditional sandwich offerings. ### Where This Applies - **Restaurant Industry:** Restaurants can explore creating unique and innovative breakfast dishes to attract customers and stand out in the competitive market. - **Food Manufacturing Industry:** Food manufacturers can focus on developing new breakfast products that combine different breakfast elements for convenience and variety. - **Food Service Industry:** Caterers and food service providers can introduce hybrid breakfast dishes to their menus to cater to diverse customer preferences and offer unique options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Biscuit-Themed Breakfast Selections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ihop-3.md) - [French Toast Breakfast Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnamon-swirl-french-toast-breakfast.md) - [Festive Gingersnap French Toasts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gingersnap-apple-french-toast.md) - [Cinnamon Toast-Infused Pancakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnamon-toast-pancakes.md) - [Low-Cost Weekday Breakfast Deals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ihop-2x2x2-combo.md) - [Caramelized French Toast Dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crme-brule-french-toast.md) - [French Toast Breakfast Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/french-toast-slider.md) - [Restaurant Chain-Inspired Cereals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ihop-mini-pancake-cereal.md) - [Breakfast Menu Fusions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wendys-4.md)
