Directions:
1. Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Make sure the mixture is well combined to evenly coat your bread slices.
2. Soak the Bread
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a dab of butter. Dip each slice of cinnamon swirl raisin bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 10 seconds on each side. You want the bread to absorb the flavors but not become too soggy.
3. Cook to Perfection
Place the soaked bread slices onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 2–3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. The aroma of cinnamon will fill your kitchen, getting everyone ready to dig in!
4. Serve and Enjoy
Serve your French toast hot off the skillet, topped with a drizzle of maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, and a side of fresh fruit. It’s a breakfast that feels indulgent but is easy to whip up!
A Quick Tip:
