Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 thick slices brioche or challah bread, about 1 inch thick
  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup whole milk
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • Butter, for the skillet
  • 2 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 to 2 tbsp milk, for the glaze

Method
 

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, ⅓ cup milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
  2. Dip each bread slice into the custard, soaking about 20 seconds per side.
  3. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, melt butter, and cook the soaked bread for 3 to 4 minutes per side until deep golden.
  4. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth, then stir in powdered sugar and 1 tbsp milk until pourable, adding more milk if needed.
  5. Plate the French toast, drizzle with glaze, and serve immediately.

Notes

If the glaze firms up while you’re finishing the toast, give it a quick stir and a few seconds in the microwave to loosen it. The French toast is at its crispiest right out of the pan, so serve it as soon as it’s drizzled.
