Equipment
Ingredients
Egg Mixture
- 8 slices Texas toast bread
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Brown Sugar Mix
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup melted butter
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- cinnamon to sprinkle
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350℉
- In a large mixing bowl or large pitcher, add the eggs, milk and cinnamon and beat until the eggs are incorporated and set aside.
- in a microwave safe container, melt the butter.
- Add the sugar and cinnamon to the butter and mix together
- Place the silicone mat (or parchment paper) down on the baking sheet.
- Put a teaspoon of the cinnamon, sugar, butter mixture on the mat. You will be making 8 dots for your French toast to go, so space out, kinda like you do for cookies.
- Take a piece of Texas toast and place into the egg mixture and coat both sides.
- Remove and place on top of the cinnamon sugar mixture on the baking sheet. Repeat this for all the toast.
- If you end up with extra egg mixture, you can continue making more, you may need another baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes.
- In the middle of the bake, this is optional, but I find it amazing, flip the toast over. This coats both sides with cinnamon sugar and the top will then crisp up. Use tongs to flip.
- Remove from the oven and you can serve with powder sugar, or syrup, whichever you prefer.
