Steps:
- Instructions Preheat the broiler. Prepare a baking dish by greasing with 2 tablespoons of the softened butter. Set aside. Butter the slices of cinnamon bread with the remaining butter on one side. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Arrange on a baking sheet and place it under the broiler for a few seconds, until the bread is toasted and the golden. This takes just a little bit of time. Remove from the oven and cut into triangles, quartered. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Make the crème anglaise by whisking the eggs in a small saucepan using an electric beater (this an also be done by hand). Incorporate the sugar in a slow steady stream, and continue whisking until the eggs are paler in color and thicker, about 3 minutes or so. Drizzle in about 1/4 cup of the scalded milk while whisking, and slowly incorporate all the milk. Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and stir constantly with a wooden spoon until it begins to thicken. This transformation can happen very quickly, be careful not to overheat the custard as it can curdle. Once the custard coats the back of your wooden spoon, strain the crème anglaise into a bowl. Stir in the vanilla. Layer the slices of bread buttered side up in the baking dish. Drizzle with a coating of crème anglaise, then place another layer of bread on top, followed by more crème anglaise. Bake in a water bath by placing the baking dish in a larger pan and filling halfway with boiling water. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted about an inch away from the edge of the baking dish comes out clean.

CINNAMON TOAST
The ingredients for cinnamon toast - bread, cinnamon, sugar and butter - have remained largely unchanged since the recipe first appeared in 15th century Europe, where it was introduced as a less expensive version of French toast. Some variations call for adding the cinnamon and sugar before toasting, others after. The secret to achieving a cinnamon toast that's both gooey and crunchy? A combination of both methods. Toast the bread in butter in a skillet, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, flip so the sugar caramelizes, then sprinkle with more cinnamon sugar when it's done. Toasting the bread in a skillet (like French toast) produces browned butter, which adds nutty warmth.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, stir together the sugar, cinnamon and salt.
- Melt some butter in a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet over medium-low; you'll want enough to lightly coat the bottom of the skillet when melted. When bubbling, add as many bread slices as will fit. Swirl the bread around to absorb the butter, adding more butter if the pan is dry. Cook until light golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, adjusting the heat as needed to avoid burning.
- Add another pat of butter, flip the bread and swirl to coat the other side in butter, gently pressing the bread to pick up any browned bits. Sprinkle the toasted tops edge to edge with a thin layer of the cinnamon sugar. Cook until the underside is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes, adding more butter and adjusting temperature if the pan is dry or the toast is burning.
- Flip and cook until the sugar sizzles and starts to melt, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a plate, sugar side up. (If any melted sugar sticks to the pan, gently swipe the bread over it to pick it up.) Sprinkle toasts with more cinnamon sugar. Wipe skillet and repeat with any remaining bread.
Tips:
- Use a loaf of French bread that is a day or two old. This will help the bread to absorb the custard mixture more easily.
- If you don't have any evaporated milk, you can use 2 cups of whole milk instead.
- Be sure to whisk the eggs and sugar together until they are light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the mixture, which will make the flan light and airy.
- When you are baking the flan, place a baking sheet on the rack below the flan to catch any drips.
- Let the flan cool completely before serving. This will help it to set properly.
Conclusion:
Cinnamon Toast Flan is a delicious and easy-to-make bread pudding that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich and creamy custard filling and its crispy cinnamon-sugar topping, this dessert is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
