Rabanada Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Soak

    In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  2. 2

    Soak the Bread

    Dip each slice of French bread or brioche into the milk mixture, allowing it to soak for about 10 seconds per side, ensuring they are well-coated but not falling apart.

  3. 3

    Cook the Rabanada

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Place the soaked bread slices in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar

    In a small bowl, mix together the remaining sugar and cinnamon. Once the rabanadas are cooked, immediately coat them in the cinnamon sugar mixture.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Drizzle the rabanadas with caramel sauce and serve warm with scoops of vanilla ice cream on the side.
