Ingredients

For the Batter

4 large eggs Essential for creating a rich, custardy base; use fresh eggs for the best flavor.
1 cup whole milk Adds creaminess to the mixture; almond milk can be a great dairy-free alternative.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances the sweet aroma; opt for pure vanilla for the finest taste.
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Delivers that beloved cinnamon roll flavor; try a spice blend for variety.
1/4 teaspoon salt Balances sweetness and boosts the overall flavor of the batter.

For the French Toast

8 slices cinnamon swirl bread The star of this dish, infusing it with sweetness; slightly stale bread holds up better during cooking.
2 tablespoons unsalted butter Adds richness when cooking; coconut oil is a suitable dairy-free substitute.

For the Glaze

1/2 cup powdered sugar Provides that delightful sweetness; adjust to taste for your preferred glaze consistency.
2 tablespoons cream cheese (softened) Creates a creamy texture; you can swap for dairy-free cream cheese if needed.
1 tablespoon milk Helps thin the glaze; feel free to add more for your desired thickness.
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Elevates the glaze flavor, adding a touch of warmth.

Optional Garnishes

Maple syrup For an extra touch of sweetness when serving; it pairs beautifully with the French toast.
Fresh berries Adds a refreshing contrast; strawberries and blueberries are especially delightful.
Whipped cream For a touch of indulgence, perfect for special occasions or just because!

Equipment

Large Bowl
Non-stick skillet

Method

Directions

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until the mixture is frothy, around 2-3 minutes.
For a fun presentation, cut the cinnamon swirl bread into triangles or keep the slices whole based on your preference.
Place a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
Quickly dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides but avoiding sogginess.
Place the soaked bread in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until it's golden brown. Flip and repeat for another 3-4 minutes.
If cooking in batches, keep the cooked French toast warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while you finish the rest.
For the glaze, combine powdered sugar, cream cheese, milk, and vanilla in a bowl. Stir until smooth.
Stack your French toast on plates, drizzle with the luscious cream cheese glaze, and sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.
Top with optional maple syrup or fresh berries for a burst of color and flavor just before serving.
