Cinnamon French Toast (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
8 slices of soft, thick bread with the crusts trimmed.
02 -
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
03 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
04 -
1/4 cup powdered sugar.
05 -
1/4 cup cream cheese, at room temp.
06 -
2 tablespoons cooking butter.
07 -
2 large eggs.
08 -
1/4 cup regular sugar.
09 -
1/4 cup milk.
10 -
Maple syrup for drizzling.
# Instructions:
01 -
Use a rolling pin to flatten every piece of bread. Mix softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a small dish until it’s creamy. Spread some of this on each piece, then roll the bread tightly into logs.
02 -
Stir the cinnamon with sugar in a shallow bowl and leave it aside for later.
03 -
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them with the milk. Coat each rolled bread log in this mixture thoroughly.
04 -
Warm the butter in a pan on medium heat. Place the rolls in and cook until all sides are toasted golden, about 2-3 minutes per side.
05 -
Roll the cooked bread logs straight into the cinnamon sugar mix so it sticks well. Serve while warm, with some maple syrup on top if you’d like.
# Notes:
01 -
These treats taste like a cozy blend of cinnamon rolls and French toast, perfect for fall mornings or an afternoon snack.
02 -
Sweeten them up with a bit of warm maple syrup for serving.
