Cinnamon Swirl French Toast Recipe

Ingredients

• 6–8 thick slices of Whole Foods Cinnamon Swirl Brioche

• 2 eggs

• ¾ cup milk (½ cup + ¼ cup)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 1 tablespoon brown sugar

• 2 tablespoons butter (for cooking)

• Powdered sugar (for dusting)

• Warm syrup (for serving)

• Fresh sliced strawberries (for topping)

• Optional: sliced bananas

Instructions

1. Prep the bread

   • Cut the cinnamon swirl brioche into 6–8 large, thick chunks or slices.

2. Make the batter

   • In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and brown sugar until smooth.

3. Dip and coat

   • Dip each brioche slice into the batter, making sure both sides are evenly coated (but don’t let it sit too long—you don’t want soggy bread).

4. Toast it up

   • Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add butter.

   • Place coated brioche slices in the pan and cook for about 2 minutes per side, until golden brown.

5. Serve and style

   • Plate your French toast, then dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with warm syrup, and top with fresh strawberries.

   • Add bananas if you’d like an extra fruity touch.

Tips & Variations

• For extra richness, use half-and-half instead of milk in the batter.

• Add a pinch of nutmeg for a cozy, spiced flavor.

• Want to take it up a notch? Whip some cream cheese with powdered sugar and use it as a filling between two slices for stuffed French toast.
