Instructions
- Whisk the eggs in a large bowl until no streaks remain.
- Add in the milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. Whisk until combined.
- Slice the bagels in half
- Place a non-stick frying pan on the stove and move the custard next to the stove.
- Soak bagel halves in custard for 20-30 seconds on each side. (I soak 3-4 at a time).
- Add 2 Tbsp. of butter to the skillet and melt over medium heat. Tilt the pan to allow butter to coat the bottom.
- Lift a bagel slice up from the custard and allow excess to drip off. Gently lay in frying pan and repeat with soaked slices.
- Cook for 3-5 minutes on one side or until golden brown. Flip and continue cooking on the second side. Carefully watch to prevent burning.
- Soak remaining slices and repeat cooking with remaining bagels. (Wipe pan clean and apply more butter to pan as needed between batches).
- Serve with your favorite toppings. (whipped cream, fresh berries, peanut butter, banana slices, pure maple syrup, jam, powdered sugar, etc.
Notes
- Leave the bagels out on the counter the night before to help prevent soggy bread.
- Whisk the eggs well before adding in the remaining ingredients. Un-whisked eggs can show on the outside of the French toast after cooking since it won’t get absorbed into the bread very well.
- Keep French toast warm by placing in oven on a baking sheet lined with a wire rack on top at 250°F. I find this helpful when making a large batch for brunch to keep it warm prior to serving.
- Use half and half or evaporated milk for a rich flavor and texture. I love using whole milk & heavy cream (like the recipe is written)
- If using stale bread, you can soak the bread overnight and cook in the morning. (I recommend using stale bread over fresh bread when making French toast anyways!)
