Ingredients

4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt
8 slices of thick bread (like brioche or challah)

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional, for dipping)

1/4 cup caramel sauce (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions

Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk until smooth.
Step 2: Add the whole milk to the eggs and mix well.

Step 3: Pour in vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until combined and slightly frothy.
Step 4: Let the bread slices sit out to dry slightly for better absorption. Optionally, cut into triangles or sticks.
Step 5: Melt the butter in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat until bubbling.

Step 6: Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides and soaking for a few seconds.
Step 7: Place the coated bread in the hot skillet and cook each side for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Cook in batches if needed.
Step 8: In a shallow dish, mix granulated sugar with ground cinnamon to create the churro coating.

Step 9: Remove the cooked French toast from the skillet and toss it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture while still warm.
Step 10: Stack 2-3 slices on a plate and drizzle with caramel sauce if desired.
Step 11: Optionally, sprinkle chocolate chips on top or serve on the side for dipping.

Step 12: Serve warm with extra cinnamon-sugar, fresh fruit, or alongside bacon or sausage.

Tips & Variations

Use day-old or slightly stale bread for better absorption and texture.
Try brioche or challah for a rich, tender base that complements the cinnamon-sugar coating.

Add a pinch of nutmeg to the egg mixture for an extra warm spice note.
For a vegan version, substitute eggs and milk with plant-based alternatives like flax eggs and almond milk.
Top with fresh berries or a dollop of whipped cream for added freshness and creaminess.

Storage

Store any leftover churro French toast in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or skillet to keep the coating crisp. Avoid microwaving as it may soften the cinnamon sugar crust.

How to Serve

The syrup adds a glossy, amber shine contrasting with the warm, toasted edges. The background features a white marbled texture. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I prepare the egg mixture the night before?

Yes, you can mix the eggs, milk, and spices the night before and keep it covered in the refrigerator. Give it a good whisk before dipping the bread.

What bread works best for churro French toast?

Thick, sturdy breads like brioche or challah are ideal because they soak up the custard while holding their shape. Avoid thin or soft sandwich bread for best results.
