Ingredients
To make this delightful Cinnamon Roll French Toast, you’ll need the following ingredients:
For the French Toast:
- 8 slices of cinnamon swirl bread – Choose a high-quality bread with a pronounced cinnamon flavor for the best results.
- 3 large eggs – Essential for the custard base, giving the French toast its creamy texture.
- 1 cup milk – Helps create the custard mixture, making the bread soft and fluffy.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – Adds a sweet, aromatic flavor to the custard.
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon – Enhances the cinnamon flavor in the bread.
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg – Adds a warm, nutty undertone to the French toast.
- Butter or oil for cooking – Used to cook the French toast until golden and crispy.
For the Creamy Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar – The base for a smooth, sweet glaze.
- 2 tablespoons milk – Helps thin the powdered sugar to a creamy consistency.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – Adds depth of flavor to the glaze.
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Custard
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined. This mixture should be smooth and slightly frothy.
Step 2: Heat the Skillet
Place a skillet or non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of butter or oil to the skillet, allowing it to melt and coat the surface evenly.
Step 3: Dip the Bread
Dip each slice of cinnamon swirl bread into the custard mixture, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated. Let any excess custard drip back into the bowl.
Step 4: Cook the French Toast
Carefully place the coated bread slices onto the hot skillet. Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Flip the slices gently with a spatula to avoid tearing.
Step 5: Prepare the Creamy Glaze
While the French toast is cooking, prepare the glaze. In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Once the French toast is cooked to a golden brown, plate the slices and drizzle the creamy glaze over each piece. Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, comforting flavors.
Notes
- Overcooking or Undercooking: French toast should be golden brown. Cooking on too high a heat can burn the outside while leaving the inside undercooked.
- Skipping the Whisking: Properly whisking the custard ensures an even distribution of flavors.
- Using Fresh Bread: Fresh bread can make the French toast too soggy. Opt for day-old bread for the best texture.
