Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 slices of thick bread
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- Butter for frying
Instructions
- In a shallow mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until well combined and smooth.
- In a separate flat dish, mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly to create the churro-style coating.
- Prepare a large skillet or griddle by heating it over medium heat and adding a pat of butter to coat the surface.
- Dip each slice of thick bread into the egg and milk mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated and saturated but not soggy.
- Place the egg-soaked bread directly onto the heated, buttered skillet and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Immediately after removing from the skillet, generously coat each piece of French toast in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, rotating to ensure complete coverage.
- Transfer the coated French toast to serving plates, and if desired, dust with additional cinnamon sugar for extra flavor.
- Serve warm, optionally accompanied by maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh berries.
Tips
- Choose thick, sturdy bread like brioche or Texas toast to ensure a rich, custardy interior and crisp exterior.
- Don't soak the bread too long in the egg mixture—just a quick dip on each side prevents soggy toast.
- Use medium heat to achieve a golden-brown color without burning the bread.
- Add a pinch of vanilla extract to the egg mixture for extra flavor depth.
- Keep the cinnamon-sugar mixture in a wide, shallow dish for easy coating.
- Serve immediately after coating to enjoy the maximum crispiness and warmth.
- For a decadent touch, drizzle with chocolate sauce or add a dollop of whipped cream.
- If cooking for a crowd, keep finished French toast warm in a low-temperature oven while preparing the next batch.
