Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Shallow dish
  • Skillet or griddle
  • Spatula

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk dairy or non-dairy
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 8 slices of thick-cut bread brioche or challah works best
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter for cooking
  • For Cinnamon Sugar Coating:
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar:
  • In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Set aside for coating the French toast.
  • Make the Batter:
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, sugar, and cinnamon until fully combined and smooth.
  • Prepare the Bread:
  • Lay out the bread slices on a flat surface. Dip each slice into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Let the bread soak for a few seconds to absorb the batter.
  • Cook the French Toast:
  • Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter. Once the butter is melted, add the soaked bread slices to the skillet.
  • Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Make sure to adjust the heat to avoid burning.
  • Coat with Cinnamon Sugar:
  • Once the French toast is cooked, immediately coat each slice with the cinnamon-sugar mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks.
  • Serve:
  • Serve your churro French toast hot with maple syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit. Enjo
