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
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Custard: In a bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg until fully combined.
- 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, making sure to coat both sides thoroughly.
- Cook the French Toast: Place the soaked bread slices in the heated skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Prepare the Creamy Glaze: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk for a thinner glaze or more powdered sugar for a thicker glaze.
- Serve: Plate the warm Cinnamon Roll French Toast slices and drizzle the creamy vanilla glaze generously over each slice.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately to enjoy the combination of cinnamon flavors and velvety sweet glaze.
Notes
- Use cinnamon swirl bread for the signature flavor, but regular bread can be substituted if necessary.
- Ensure the skillet is properly heated to prevent sticking and achieve even browning.
- Adjust glaze thickness as desired by varying the amount of milk or powdered sugar.
- Serve immediately to enjoy optimal texture and flavor.
- For a richer custard, substitute half the milk with cream.
