Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices of cinnamon swirl bread
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Butter or oil for cooking
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until smooth. Ensure there are no lumps, which can result in uneven flavor absorption. This should take about 2 minutes.
  2. Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a generous amount of butter or oil to the pan—enough to coat the bottom completely. Wait until the butter is melted and bubbly, which should take around 1-2 minutes.
  3. Take a slice of cinnamon swirl bread and dip it into the custard mixture, coating both sides thoroughly. Avoid soaking it too long; just a few seconds on each side should do. Let any excess custard drip off before placing it in the skillet.
  4. Carefully place the soaked bread slices in the skillet, ensuring they aren’t overcrowded. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on the heat to prevent burning; adjust as necessary.
  5. While the French toast is cooking, prepare the creamy glaze. In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add more milk, one teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
  6. Once the French toast is perfectly golden on both sides, remove it from the skillet and place it on a serving platter. Drizzle the creamy glaze generously over each slice while they are still hot to allow it to soak in a bit.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy the rich flavors and textures of your Cinnamon Roll French Toast!

Keywords: For an even richer flavor, let your custard sit for about 10 minutes after mixing. You can substitute cinnamon swirl bread with brioche or challah. For a dairy-free option, use almond milk or any plant-based milk.
