1/2 cup whole milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp butter (for frying)

1 tsp ground cinnamon
For the Cream Cheese Icing:
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2–3 tbsp milk (adjust for consistency)
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.
- Make the Cinnamon Sugar Coating:

- Cook the French Toast:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tbsp of butter.
- Dip each bread slice into the egg mixture, coating both sides.
- Cook bread slices for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Repeat as needed.

Notes
For a richer flavor, substitute heavy cream for milk in the batter.
To prevent the bread from becoming soggy, don’t over-soak in the egg mixture.
Customize with toppings like chocolate drizzle, berry compote, or chopped nuts.
