A simple go-to recipe for French toast, perfect for almost any type of bread. Extra cinnamon gives it a potent sweet spice and half-and-half makes the custard rich without being too heavy.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup half-and-half
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, plus more for serving
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
6 large eggs
2 to 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 slices challah or brioche bread (3/4 inch thick) or 12 slices sandwich bread
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Fresh fruit, for serving
Maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
  • Whisk together the half-and-half, granulated sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, salt and eggs in a large bowl until very well combined and no visible egg white remains. Pour the mixture into an 8- or 9-inch square baking dish.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon butter and when it melts, swirl to coat the skillet.
  • Put 2 slices of bread at a time in the custard until moistened through, about 10 seconds on each side for the thicker bread and 5 seconds for the thinner sandwich bread.
  • When the butter begins to sizzle, transfer the soaked slices to the skillet and cook until the custard is heated through and the slices are very golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet and hold in the oven while you repeat with the remaining butter, bread and custard.
  • To serve, fan out the slices on a platter or individual plates and dust with confectioners' sugar and additional cinnamon. Serve with fresh fruit and maple syrup.

WEEKDAY CINNAMON FRENCH TOAST



Weekday Cinnamon French Toast image

My son loves this recipe for french toast. I use most of the same ingredients that I put into a cinnamon roll which gives it great flavor. I like to eat them plain but my son definately goes for the syrup. I turn on the oven to 200º and slip a piece of aluminum foil on my top rack. As I cook the french toast I just pop the finished slices in the oven to keep them warm.

Provided by Slatts

Categories     Breakfast

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 eggs, cracked and beaten
3 tablespoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons brown sugar
3/4 cup milk
1/4 lb salted butter, 1 stick
12 slices white bread

Steps:

  • Thoroughly beat together eggs, cinnamon, vanilla, sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until mixed well. Add a pinch of salt if desired.
  • Add milk and mix again.
  • Place a small pat of butter in a large nonstick skillet on medium low heat. Once butter has melted dip bread into the egg/milk mixture. Just do a quick dip to coat the bread. Place bread into the pan. I usually work with three slices at a time.
  • Place another small pat of butter in the pan. Once the butter has melted flip the bread over. This allows both sides of the bread to get that yummy buttery flavor.
  • Continue to cook until both sides are browned nicely. Place finished slices in the oven while you cook the rest.
  • Beat the mixture each time before dipping the bread. This brings the cinnamon up from the bottom of the bowl.

Tips:

  • Use stale bread for French toast, as it absorbs the egg mixture better and results in a crispier crust.
  • If you don't have stale bread, you can toast fresh bread slices lightly before dipping them in the egg mixture.
  • For a richer flavor, use a mixture of milk and cream in the egg mixture.
  • Add a pinch of salt to the egg mixture to enhance the flavor of the French toast.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the French toast, as this will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the French toast over medium heat so that the inside has time to cook through without burning the outside.
  • Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon-accented French toast is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.
