Cinnamon French Toast
A cinnamon-scented egg mixture turns ordinary bread into a warm skillet breakfast. Use slices sturdy enough to absorb the mixture without falling apart, especially if the loaf is very soft. Medium-low heat gives the center time to set while the butter browns the surface; a dark exterior alone does not show that the egg inside is cooked.

Step-by-Step Instructions
- Whisk eggs, milk and cinnamon in a shallow dish. Place the bread in the mixture and turn once so both surfaces absorb it without falling apart.
- Melt half the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the drained bread in a single layer.
- Cook both sides until golden and the egg mixture in the center has set. Repeat with the remaining butter and bread.

FDA handling and storage conditions
Ingredient substitution
Keep the eggs for the custard coating. A baking egg replacer does not necessarily set on soaked bread; choose another breakfast if eggs must be excluded.
