Ingredients
- 8 thick slices of day-old brioche or challah bread
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon (for coating)
- Butter, for frying
Instructions
-
Prepare the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating:
In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon. Set aside for later use. -
Make the French Toast Batter:
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Whisk until smooth and fully combined. -
Dip the Bread:
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter.
Dip each slice of brioche or challah bread into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated on both sides. Let any excess batter drip off before placing the bread on the skillet. -
Cook the French Toast:
Fry the bread slices in the hot skillet for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. You may need to add more butter to the skillet as you go. -
Coat in Cinnamon-Sugar:
Once the French toast is cooked, immediately dredge each slice in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, coating both sides evenly.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve your churro French toast warm, and top with whipped cream, syrup, or fresh fruit for an extra treat!
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can drizzle chocolate sauce or caramel sauce on top.
- If you like your French toast extra crispy, feel free to cook it a little longer on each side.
- This recipe works well with other types of bread as well, but brioche or challah will give it a richer, more decadent flavor.
