Ingredients
Scale
French Toast
- 8 slices 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
Vanilla Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Custard: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until the mixture is smooth and fully combined, creating a flavorful custard base for soaking the bread.
- Dip the Bread: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter or oil. Dip each slice of cinnamon swirl bread into the custard mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated but not saturated to prevent sogginess.
- Cook the French Toast: Place the soaked bread slices onto the preheated skillet. Cook each slice for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until both sides are golden brown and slightly crisp, indicating they are cooked through.
- Prepare the Creamy Glaze: In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until the glaze is smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk for a thinner glaze or more powdered sugar for a thicker one.
- Serve: Plate the warm Cinnamon Roll French Toast slices and drizzle the creamy vanilla glaze generously over each slice, enhancing the cinnamon flavors and adding a sweet finishing touch.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately and savor the delicious cinnamon flavors paired with the velvety glaze for a comforting breakfast or brunch experience.
Notes
- Use cinnamon swirl bread for the best flavor and authentic cinnamon roll taste.
- Adjust the glaze consistency to your liking by adding more milk or powdered sugar.
- Cook the French toast on medium heat to avoid burning while ensuring the center is cooked.
- For a richer custard, substitute some of the milk with cream.
- Serve with fresh fruit or syrup for additional flavor variations.
