Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Whisk
- Nonstick Pan or Griddle
- Spatula
Ingredients
Cinnamon French Roll Toast Base
- 8 soft French rolls or cinnamon rolls For extra cinnamon flavor
- 2 large eggs For a rich custard texture
- ½ cup whole milk or heavy cream For added richness
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon For that classic cinnamon flavor
- 1 tsp vanilla extract For a warm, sweet aroma
- 2 tbsp butter For frying
Toppings
- ¼ cup powdered sugar For dusting
- maple syrup or cream cheese glaze For serving
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk (or heavy cream), ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract to create the custard mixture.
- Slice the French rolls or cinnamon rolls in half. Lightly toast them if they are very soft to help absorb the custard better.
- Quickly dip each roll slice into the custard mixture, making sure it is fully coated but not overly soaked.
- Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Place the soaked roll slices in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup or cream cheese glaze, and serve immediately!
Notes
For an extra crispy finish, sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the toast while still warm!
