Cinnamon Sugar French-Style Texas Toast

Cook Time: 30 min.

Serving Size: 4 servings

Ingredients

1 cup milk

2 large eggs, beaten

¼ cup sugar

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

8 thick slices white bread (about ¾ of a white sandwich or Pullman loaf, cut into ¾-inch thick slices)

Suggested servings: Jam or hot pure maple syrup

Directions

Preheat an oven to 200 degrees F, and place a rack on a sheet pan.

Whisk the milk and eggs in a glass pie or casserole dish until evenly combined.

Whisk the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add about 1/2 a tablespoon of butter to the skillet, swirling the pan to coat the surface. Dip 2 slices of bread into the egg mixture and immediately lay in the skillet. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on top and cook until the undersides are brown and crisp, about 4 minutes. Add a nut-sized bit of butter to the skillet, as needed, and flip the toast, cook until golden on the underside, about 3 minutes more.

Serve immediately or transfer to the rack in the oven to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining bread and batter. Serve with jam or maple syrup.
