Description
A warm and sweet breakfast treat that combines the flavors of cinnamon rolls and French toast, perfect for leisurely mornings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices of cinnamon swirl bread
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Butter or oil for cooking
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
- Whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium bowl until smooth.
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add butter or oil to coat the pan.
- Dip each slice of bread into the custard, coating both sides but not soaking to the point of falling apart.
- Let excess custard drip off each slice back into the bowl.
- Place the custard-coated slices in the hot skillet without crowding the pan.
- Cook each slice for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.
- Adjust the heat if the bread browns too fast and is not warmed through.
- Whisk the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla for the glaze until smooth and pourable.
- Drizzle the glaze over warm French toast right after you remove it from the skillet.
- Serve the toast immediately so the glaze melts into the warm bread.
Notes
Use a heavy skillet for even cooking. Adjust heat to prevent burning and ensure the custard cooks through.
