Description
Golden, crispy French toast coated in cinnamon sugar—like your favorite fairground churro, but for breakfast.
Ingredients
8 slices thick-cut brioche, challah, or Texas toast
3 large eggs
¾ cup whole milk (or half-and-half)
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
3 tbsp unsalted butter (for frying)
For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
½ cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
Make Custard
In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
Soak Bread
Dip each slice of bread in the custard for about 20–30 seconds per side. Let excess drip off.
Cook Toast
Heat 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook 2–3 slices at a time until golden brown and cooked through, about 2–3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining butter and toast.
Make Cinnamon Sugar
Mix sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish.
Coat the Toast
While warm, press each slice into the cinnamon sugar mixture on both sides.
Serve
Serve hot with maple syrup, chocolate drizzle, or whipped cream.
Notes
Use day-old bread for best texture.
For an extra twist, try stuffing slices with Nutella or sweetened cream cheese.
Reheat in a toaster oven for crisp results.
