Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Thick sliced brioche or challah bread
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 0.25 cups Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Butter (for cooking)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for topping, optional)
- as desired Maple syrup (for serving, optional)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter.
Dip each slice of brioche or challah bread into the egg mixture, letting it soak for about 5 seconds per side. Make sure both sides are evenly coated but not oversaturated.
Place the soaked bread onto the skillet or griddle and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat this process with the remaining bread slices, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
Once all the French toast slices are cooked, dust them with the remaining teaspoon of ground cinnamon and powdered sugar (if using).
Serve hot with a drizzle of maple syrup, if desired. Enjoy your Double Cinnamon French Toast!
