Description
Churro French Toast combines the rich, fluffy texture of thick French toast with the sweet, cinnamon-sugar coating of churros. It’s the ultimate indulgence for breakfast or brunch—crispy on the outside, soft and warm on the inside, and topped with a delicious cinnamon-sugar dusting.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 thick slices of day-old brioche or challah bread
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for coating)
- Butter (for frying)
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until smooth and well combined.
- Coat the Bread: Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are fully coated. Let the excess egg mixture drip off before placing it on a plate.
- Fry the French Toast: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter to coat the surface. Fry the soaked bread slices for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
- Cinnamon-Sugar Coating: In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar with the 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon. Once the French toast is cooked, immediately dip each slice into the cinnamon-sugar mixture, coating both sides generously.
- Serve: Serve warm with syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit if desired.
Notes
- If you prefer a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk with almond or oat milk.
- You can add a sprinkle of powdered sugar or drizzle of chocolate sauce for extra sweetness.
