Time 15m

Yield 6-8 slices, 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
6 -8 slices bread

Steps:

  • Beat eggs with wire whisk until foamy.
  • Add milk, cinnamon and vanilla; Beat well.
  • Spray large non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Heat over medium heat. You can also use a griddle set at 375.
  • Dip bread into batter and cook until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side. Whisk the batter before you dip each slice to distribute the cinnamon.
  • These can be made low fat by replacing the eggs with 4 whites or 1/2 cup egg substitute and using fat free milk. I usually double the recipe and refrigerate (up to a week) or freeze (2 months) the leftovers.

WEEKDAY CINNAMON FRENCH TOAST



Weekday Cinnamon French Toast image

My son loves this recipe for french toast. I use most of the same ingredients that I put into a cinnamon roll which gives it great flavor. I like to eat them plain but my son definately goes for the syrup. I turn on the oven to 200º and slip a piece of aluminum foil on my top rack. As I cook the french toast I just pop the finished slices in the oven to keep them warm.

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 eggs, cracked and beaten
3 tablespoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
3/4 cup milk
1/4 lb salted butter, 1 stick
12 slices white bread

Steps:

  • Thoroughly beat together eggs, cinnamon, vanilla, sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until mixed well. Add a pinch of salt if desired.
  • Add milk and mix again.
  • Place a small pat of butter in a large nonstick skillet on medium low heat. Once butter has melted dip bread into the egg/milk mixture. Just do a quick dip to coat the bread. Place bread into the pan. I usually work with three slices at a time.
  • Place another small pat of butter in the pan. Once the butter has melted flip the bread over. This allows both sides of the bread to get that yummy buttery flavor.
  • Continue to cook until both sides are browned nicely. Place finished slices in the oven while you cook the rest.
  • Beat the mixture each time before dipping the bread. This brings the cinnamon up from the bottom of the bowl.

CINNAMON FRENCH TOAST



Cinnamon French Toast image

A simple go-to recipe for French toast, perfect for almost any type of bread. Extra cinnamon gives it a potent sweet spice and half-and-half makes the custard rich without being too heavy.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup half-and-half
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, plus more for serving
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
6 large eggs
2 to 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 slices challah or brioche bread (3/4 inch thick) or 12 slices sandwich bread
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Fresh fruit, for serving
Maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
  • Whisk together the half-and-half, granulated sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, salt and eggs in a large bowl until very well combined and no visible egg white remains. Pour the mixture into an 8- or 9-inch square baking dish.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon butter and when it melts, swirl to coat the skillet.
  • Put 2 slices of bread at a time in the custard until moistened through, about 10 seconds on each side for the thicker bread and 5 seconds for the thinner sandwich bread.
  • When the butter begins to sizzle, transfer the soaked slices to the skillet and cook until the custard is heated through and the slices are very golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet and hold in the oven while you repeat with the remaining butter, bread and custard.
  • To serve, fan out the slices on a platter or individual plates and dust with confectioners' sugar and additional cinnamon. Serve with fresh fruit and maple syrup.

Time 13h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Butter, for greasing
1 loaf crusty sourdough or French bread
8 whole eggs
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup whipping (heavy) cream
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
Freshly grated nutmeg
1 stick cold butter, cut into pieces, plus more for serving
Warm pancake syrup, for serving
1 cup fresh blueberries, for serving

Steps:

  • For the French toast: Grease the baking pan with butter. Tear the bread into chunks, or cut into cubes, and evenly distribute in the pan. Crack the eggs in a big bowl. Whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla. Pour evenly over the bread. Cover the pan tightly and store in the fridge until needed (overnight preferably).
  • For the topping: Mix the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt and some nutmeg in a separate bowl. Stir together using a fork. Add the butter and with a pastry cutter, and mix it all together until the mixture resembles fine pebbles. Store in a re-sealable plastic bag in the fridge.
  • When you're ready to bake the casserole, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the casserole from the fridge and sprinkle the topping over the top. Bake for 45 minutes for a softer, more bread pudding texture or for 1 hour or more for a firmer, crisper texture.
  • Scoop out individual portions. Top with butter and drizzle with warm pancake syrup and sprinkle with blueberries.

Tips:

  • Use a thick-cut bread for your French toast, such as brioche, challah, or Texas toast. This will help the bread hold up to the custard and not get soggy.
  • If you don't have any ground cinnamon, you can use a cinnamon stick. Simply break the cinnamon stick into small pieces and add it to the custard.
  • If you want your French toast to be extra crispy, cook it in a hot skillet over medium heat. If you want it to be more soft and fluffy, cook it over low heat.
  • Serve your French toast with your favorite toppings, such as powdered sugar, maple syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
