Ingredients
- 8 slices Pepperidge Farm Cinnamon Swirl Bread
- 4 eggs
- ⅔ cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Optional toppings: syrup, fresh berries, whipped cream
Instructions
- In a shallow mixing bowl, whisk eggs, cream, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt together.
- Heat skillet to 325ºF.
- Dip each piece of bread for 5 seconds per side.
- Place dipped bread in your greased, heated skillet.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side.
- Serve immediately with the toppings of your choice.
Notes
- Let bread rest: To prevent tearing, let your bread rest briefly after dipping it in the egg mixture.
- Use day-old bread: Day-old or slightly stale bread works best because it soaks up the egg mixture without falling apart.
- Preheat your pan: Always make sure your pan or griddle is hot before adding the bread to ensure even cooking and a crisp, golden-brown crust.
- Avoid overcrowding: Cook in small batches so each slice has enough space to brown evenly.
- Keep warm in the oven: For larger batches, place cooked slices on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven to stay warm and crisp while you finish cooking.
- Butter + oil combo: Use a mix of butter and neutral oil in the skillet — the oil prevents burning while the butter adds rich flavor.
