Method

  1. In a small bowl, mix together 70g of softened cinnamon butter, 50g of light brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon until well combined.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Butter and sugar mixture is evenly combined. Mix until no dry sugar patches remain.

  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 medium eggs, 60ml of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

  3. Dip each of the 8 slices of soft bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides evenly.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Bread is coated on both sides.

  4. In a shallow dish, mix together 50g of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.

  5. Coat the egg-coated bread slices in the sugar and cinnamon mixture, pressing the mixture onto the bread to ensure it sticks.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Cinnamon sugar adheres to the bread. Press gently so the coating sticks.

  6. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.

  7. Place the coated bread slices on the skillet or griddle and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Bread is golden on both sides.

  8. While the French toast is cooking, prepare the cream cheese icing by mixing together 20g of softened unsalted butter, 60g of room temperature cream cheese, and 25g of icing sugar until smooth.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: Icing is smooth. Use softened butter and room-temperature cream cheese for easier mixing.

  9. Once the French toast is cooked, place it on a serving plate and drizzle with the cream cheese icing.

  10. Serve warm and enjoy!
