CINNAMON FRENCH TOAST

DiAnne — Thu, 23 Jun 2016 19:18:58 GMT

We had breakfast for dinner last night with a big fruit salad and candied bacon made in oven and this french toast.

6 T unsalted butter
1 cup milk
1 large egg
2 T sugar
2 t vanilla
3/4 t cinnamon
1/4 t salt
1/2 cup flour

Loaf of cinnamon bread, preferably unsliced

Slice cinnamon bread in thick slices (a little over 1 inch).

Whisk together milk, egg, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and salt. Melt 2 T of butter whisk into milk mixture. Whisk in flour slowly and mix until smooth. Pour batter into a shallow dish.

Soak bread in batter (about 30 seconds per side). Melt remaining butter in a skillet by 1 T increments as needed. Remove bread from batter and allow excess to drip back into dish. Cook until golden brown on both sides. To keep french toast warm transfer to a wire rack in 200 degree oven if necessary.

Yum!!! Love French toast. I know I have seen a candied bacon recipe on the forums but have never made or ate any. I cannot even remember how it's made. I tried chocolate covered bacon at Peterbrooke's in Jacksonville a few days ago but it's not my cup of tea.

i rather eat breakfast instead of dinner any day of the week. I have cut way back on meat consumption. I have been eating a lot of chicken.

Candied bacon is just bacon cooked in the oven with a little brown sugar sprinkled on it while it is cooking. I bake it at 375. The amount of time is up to your taste. I like bacon really well done - my family does not always agree!

@DiAnne Thx. We like our bacon crisp but not burnt. Maybe I will give it a try this weekend. Does it make the bacon really sweet tasting?

@Nightowlz

That really depends on how much brown sugar you sprinkle on. Occasionally I will also add freshly ground pepper with the brown sugar. I have also mixed some chili powder with the brown sugar. Both were good. It is fun to play around with.

Be sure to put foil down so you don't have a mess to clean up!
