Cinnamon Swirl French Toast
After trying this decadent version of French toast, you may never use plain bread again!
Ingredients
- 1 loaf cinnamon swirl bread
- 4-6 large eggs
- ¼ cup heavy cream or half-n-half
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp. vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat a griddle or large non-stick pan to around 350°.
- Slice the cinnamon bread into ½-inch thick slices, set aside.
- In a shallow dish, beat the eggs till frothy.
- Add the heavy cream, cinnamon, and vanilla, and mix well.
- Dip each piece of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated.
- Add a little butter or cooking spray to your griddle or pan and add the bread slices in batches.
- Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes each, or till golden brown.
- Remove from griddle or pan and keep warm in a 200° oven till ready to serve.
- Serve with butter and warm maple syrup or powdered sugar.
Notes
- Bringing your eggs to room temperature will make them easier to mix (you can do this by putting them in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes).
- When beating your eggs, ensure the egg whites are broken up so you don’t end up with a scrambled egg texture on your toast.
- A glass pie plate works nicely for the egg mixture and dipping the bread.
