3.9 from 48 reviews

A sweet and fragrant twist on classic French toast, made with raisin bread that adds extra flavor and texture. Perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch, this easy recipe combines cinnamon-spiced egg batter with buttery skillet cooking to deliver golden, tender slices ready to be topped with maple syrup or powdered sugar.

  • Total Time: 11 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Bread

  • 4 slices raisin bread

Egg Mixture

  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon

For Cooking

  • 1 tsp butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring the cinnamon is evenly distributed.
  2. Soak the Bread Slices: Dip each slice of raisin bread into the egg mixture, letting it soak briefly on both sides to absorb the flavors without becoming too soggy.
  3. Heat the Skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter until it sizzles but does not brown, preparing it for cooking the bread.
  4. Cook the French Toast: Place the soaked bread slices onto the buttered skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until each side is golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Serve: Remove from the skillet and serve immediately, optionally topped with maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar for added sweetness.

Notes

  • Serve with maple syrup or powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
  • Use raisin bread for a naturally sweet and textured variation.
  • Adjust cinnamon quantity to taste for spiciness level.
  • Ensure skillet is at medium heat to avoid burning the bread before it cooks through.
