Description
This delicious Churro French Toast is a perfect blend of sweet and crispy, with a signature churro-style crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 thick slices brioche or challah bread
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for coating)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- Start by whisking the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar in a shallow bowl. I always take a moment here to enjoy the scent of cinnamon blooming in the milk. It sets the tone for the whole dish.
- Dip each slice of bread into the mixture, letting it soak just enough to absorb the custard without becoming soggy.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter until it begins to foam.
- Cook the soaked bread slices for about 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden and slightly crisp.
- While the toast cooks, mix the remaining sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish.
- As soon as each slice comes off the pan, coat it generously in the cinnamon sugar. The warmth helps the mixture cling, creating that signature churro-style crust that defines Churro French Toast.
- Serve immediately while the exterior is crisp and the inside is soft and creamy.
Notes
- This recipe is perfect for a weekend brunch or special occasions.
- Make sure not to soak the bread too long to prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Serve with maple syrup or fresh fruit for added flavor.
