Cinnamon Bread French Toast Recipe
Description
This Cinnamon Bread French Toast Recipe involves whisking together milk, eggs, egg yolks, sugar, ground cinnamon, salt, and vanilla to create a smooth custard base. Thick slices of cinnamon bread are soaked in this mixture for 10–15 seconds per side, absorbing enough to flavor the bread without breaking it apart.
Cooking the soaked bread in butter over medium heat creates a golden crust while maintaining a tender inside. The balanced spices enhance the cinnamon notes from the bread.
Serve the French toast hot with toppings such as powdered sugar, whipped cream, buttermilk syrup, or fresh fruit to complement the warm spices and richness.
For make-ahead convenience, individual slices can be wrapped and frozen, then reheated in the oven or toaster. Using sturdy breads like French or sourdough can provide sturdier slices and varied textures.
