Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Start by preparing the egg mixture. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Set the egg mixture aside to allow the flavors to meld while you prepare the bread and toppings.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sear the Bread

    Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the butter and let it melt, coating the bottom of the skillet.

  2. 4

    Dip each slice of the cinnamon chip loaf into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated but not soaking. Allow any excess to drip off.

  3. 5

    Place the coated bread slices in the hot skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 6

    Remove the French toast from the skillet and keep warm while you cook the remaining slices.

Serving

  1. 7

    To serve, stack the French toast slices on a plate. Top with a generous dollop of mascarpone cheese, a handful of fresh berries, and a dusting of powdered sugar.

  2. 8

    Drizzle maple syrup over the top to taste and enjoy your delicious French toast!
