Churro French Toast (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Cinnamon Sugar Coating
01 -
1/2 cup regular sugar
02 -
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
→ French Toast
03 -
8 thick bread pieces—brioche or Texas toast works
04 -
2 big eggs
05 -
1/2 cup milk
06 -
1 teaspoon vanilla—use liquid extract
07 -
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
08 -
2 tablespoons plain sugar
09 -
Pinch of salt
10 -
2 tablespoons butter for frying
→ Filling
11 -
4 ounces cream cheese, let it sit to soften
12 -
2 tablespoons icing sugar
13 -
1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Stir the softened cream cheese, vanilla, and powdered sugar in a bowl until it’s totally smooth and fluffy.
02 -
Slather your cream cheese filling on four bread slices then cap off with the other four slices so they’re paired up.
03 -
Whisk together your milk, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, salt, and some vanilla in a wide bowl until no clumps are left.
04 -
Quickly dip both sides of each sandwich into the egg mix—just long enough to wet it, don’t leave it in or it’ll turn soggy.
05 -
Set a non-stick skillet over medium. Melt your butter and fry those sandwiches until each side is a lovely golden brown, which should be 3 or 4 minutes for each.
06 -
Grab a wide shallow bowl and combine sugar with the cinnamon until it’s one color and smells great.
07 -
As soon as each sandwich is done frying, roll it around in your cinnamon-sugar mix so it’s all dusted.
08 -
Best served straight out of the pan. Splash with syrup, drizzle chocolate, or drop on some whipped cream if you feel fancy.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Sprinkle in a touch of fresh nutmeg when making your egg mix for a tasty twist.
02 -
These are tastiest hot, but extras can chill covered in the fridge a day and crisp up again in your oven.
03 -
Get creative with the middle—jam, peanut butter, or Nutella swap in instead of cream cheese easily.
