Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 slices cinnamon swirl bread
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Butter or oil for cooking
For the Creamy Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until fully combined and smooth.
- Heat the skillet: Place a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add butter or oil to coat the surface, allowing it to heat up for cooking.
- Dip the bread: Take each slice of cinnamon swirl bread and dip both sides into the egg mixture, ensuring the bread is well coated but not soggy.
- Cook the French toast: Place the coated bread slices onto the heated skillet. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes or until it turns golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges.
- Make the glaze: In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the glaze is smooth and free of lumps.
- Serve: Drizzle the creamy vanilla glaze generously over the cooked French toast slices and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- Use cinnamon swirl bread for authentic cinnamon roll flavor; regular bread can be substituted but will yield different taste.
- Adjust the amount of glaze according to personal preference for sweetness.
- Ensure skillet is at medium heat to avoid burning the toast before it’s cooked through.
- For extra indulgence, top with fresh fruit or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
