Churro French Toast

This is not just any old French toast. This takes French toast to the next level starting with the bread. Normally I use Texas toast when making French toast with sliced bread bread, however this uses King's Hawaiian Sweet sliced bread. The french toast is coated in cinnamon sugar after cooking and then drizzled with a cream cheese glaze. 

I was a little worried about not using thick cut slices for the French toast and how it would hold up, but it worked just fine. Instead of having to leave the thick slices in the egg mixture for a minute or so, I just dipped the bread in and took it out, with no soak time. The sweet bread makes a delicious French toast and pairs well with the cinnamon sugar coating. The cream cheese glaze just adds to the deliciousness of this French toast, so much so that I added, more than a drizzle.

Churro French Toast

Ingredients:

Cream Cheese Glaze

• 2 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cinnamon Sugar

• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

French Toast

• 4 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
• 8 slices King's Hawaiian Original Sweet Sliced Bread
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions:

Cream Cheese Glaze

1. In a medium bowl beat together the cream cheese and powdered sugar.
2. Add in the milk and vanilla and beat until well mixed and smooth, set aside.

Cinnamon Sugar

1. In a shallow dish, big enough to fit a slice of bread, whisk together both sugars and cinnamon, set aside.

French Toast

1. In a large shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla and nutmeg. Whisk until well mixed.
2. In a large skillet, over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter.
3. Working with one piece of bread at a time, dip it in the egg mixture coating both sides with the mixture. Add the bread slices to the skillet, 1-2 at a time (depending on the size of your skillet) and cook until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Flip the bread slices over and cook until the other side is golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.
4. Working quickly, remove one slice of bread from the skillet and immediately place into the cinnamon sugar. Coat both sides with cinnamon sugar and place on a plate. Repeat with the other slice of bread.
5. Continue this process until all of the bread slices have been cooked and coated in cinnamon sugar, adding more butter as needed.
6. Serve the Churro French toast immediately with the cream cheese glaze.

Enjoy!!!
