Main Ingredients
  • 4 slices thick-cut bread Thick-cut works best; whole grain is a healthier option.
  • 2 eggs eggs These provide protein and structure; vegan substitute can be used.
  • 1/2 cup milk Dairy or non-dairy alternatives are fine.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Adds depth of flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon The star spice that ties everything together.
  • 1/2 cup sugar For the churro topping; alternatives include coconut or maple sugar.
  • 1/4 cup melted butter Enhances flavor and promotes browning; use coconut oil for dairy-free.
  • to taste maple syrup Use organic or flavored syrups for variety.

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.
  2. Dip each slice of bread in the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
  3. In another bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon for the churro topping.
Cooking
  1. Heat melted butter in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Cook each slice of dipped bread for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  3. Immediately sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over both sides of the toast after cooking.

Notes

Use day-old bread for better absorption of the egg mixture. You can make the egg mixture ahead of time and refrigerate it overnight. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days or freeze for up to three months.
