10-Minute Cinnamon Swirl French Toast
Transform ordinary bread into a delightful breakfast treat in just 10 minutes! This cinnamon swirl French toast is quick, easy, and perfect for a busy morning.
Ingredients
- 4 Bread slices (challah or brioche recommended)
- 2 Eggs
- 1/4 cup Milk
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- Powdered sugar (optional)
- Maple syrup (optional)
Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Soak the Bread
Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Let the bread soak for about 30 seconds per side to absorb the mixture.
Cook the French Toast
Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the soaked bread slices in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve
Remove the French toast from the skillet and serve immediately. Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with maple syrup, if desired.
