For cooking

Method

Prepare the custard

  1. 1

    Mix the custard ingredients

    In a shallow bowl, beat together 1 whole egg, 1 tablespoon of milk, 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 0.25 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

Prepare the bread

  1. 2

    Dip the bread

    Take the slice of cinnamon swirl bread and dip it into the custard mixture, ensuring both sides are coated evenly. Let any excess mixture drip off.

Cook the French toast

  1. 3

    Heat the pan

    In a skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until it starts to foam.

  2. 4

    Sauté the bread

    Once the butter is hot, place the dipped bread slice in the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Serve

  1. 5

    Garnish and serve

    Remove the French toast from the skillet and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of powdered sugar before serving.
