Cinnamon Custard French Toast Recipes

CUSTARD-STYLE FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• *You can cut the brown sugar in half and replace with 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• In a medium mixing bowl, beat eggs until no whites are showing and set aside
• **If your bread is fresh, cut it and leave it out on the counter the night before
• This will dry out your bread and prevent soggy toast when finished
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, sugars, cinnamon and nutmeg until well incorporated, then whisk in eggs
• You may do this the night before
• Preheat oven to 200°F
• Dip bread into mixture and soak for about 20 seconds on each side
• Remove slices to a cooling rack set into a sheet pan and let sit for 1-2 minutes
• Over medium heat, melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter and 1/2 tablespoon of oil in a 10-inch nonstick sauté pan
• Place 2 slices of bread at a time into the pan and cook until golden brown, approximately 2 minutes per side
• Remove from pan and place on a sheet pan in oven
• Repeat with all 10 slices
• Serve immediately with maple syrup, whipped cream, and/or fruit

CINNAMON FRENCH TOAST

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.
