Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cornbread Cake

    If you don't have a cornbread cake already prepared, bake one according to your favorite recipe and let it cool.

  2. 2

    Make the Custard Mixture

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

  3. 3

    Slice the Cornbread

    Cut the cooled cornbread cake into thick slices, about 1-1.5 inches thick.

  4. 4

    Soak the Slices

    Dip each slice of cornbread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated. Allow excess to drip off.

  5. 5

    Cook the French Toast

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the soaked cornbread slices and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the French toast warm, drizzled with maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, and topped with fresh berries.
