Bread Mixture

Tropical Toppings

Method

Preparation of Bread Mixture

  1. 1

    Whisk Egg Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Soak Bread Slices

    Dip each slice of cinnamon swirl bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Allow the bread to soak for about 30 seconds to absorb the mixture.

Cooking French Toast

  1. 3

    Preheat Skillet

    Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease it lightly with butter or oil.

  2. 4

    Cook Bread Slices

    Place the soaked bread slices onto the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining slices.

Tropical Toppings

  1. 5

    Prepare Toppings

    While the French toast is cooking, prepare the toppings. In a bowl, combine the diced pineapple, sliced banana, and chopped pecans.

  2. 6

    Serve with Syrup

    Once the French toast slices are cooked, stack them on plates and top with the tropical fruit mixture. Drizzle with maple syrup and serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
