Cinnamon Sugar French Toast – SWEET & EASY
This sweet and satisfying cinnamon sugar French toast is the perfect cozy morning treat. With a rich custard base and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top, it's a breakfast or brunch favorite that brings comfort and flavor to your table.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 8 slices of bread (thick-sliced preferred)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for cooking)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon, then add to the egg mixture and stir well.
- In a large skillet or griddle, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Take a slice of bread and dip it into the egg mixture, coating both sides and allowing excess to drip off before placing it in the skillet.
- Cook each slice for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Repeat for all slices, adding more butter as needed.
- Once cooked, serve warm with an additional sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top.
Notes
Use day-old bread for better results without soaking up too much liquid.
Add a pinch of nutmeg to the egg mixture for an extra layer of flavor.
Let the French toast rest for a minute to become fluffier after cooking.
For a lighter option, substitute non-stick spray for butter.
