Instructions
Preparing Cuban-Style French Toast with Cinnamon and Vanilla is simple and enjoyable. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Custard Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
2. Coat the Bread: Dip each slice of bread into the custard mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated. Allow excess custard to drip off.
3. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or griddle, melt one tablespoon of butter over medium heat until foamy but not browned.
4. Cook the Bread: Place the coated bread slices in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
5. Repeat with Remaining Butter: Add additional butter as needed for subsequent batches, repeating the cooking process until all slices are prepared.
6. Plate and Serve: Stack the cooked French toast on a serving platter and optionally dust with powdered sugar for added flair.
7. Add Your Favorite Toppings: Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh fruits, or whipped cream, as desired.
