Cinnamon French Toast with Cinnamon Syrup

December 25, 2008 · WCC Administr@tr · 3 Comments

Nothing smells better than cinnamon on Christmas morning! For brunch, I wanted something sweet to add to our menu and decided on a Cinnamon French Toast. Although you could certainly make homemade Cinnamon bread (which would be much better I assume), I opted to go the convenient route by using Cinnabon Cinnamon Bread. The orginal recipe calls for Italian Panettone Bread.

Cinnamon French Toast with Cinnamon Syrup
recipe adapted from Giada DeLaurentiisdsc00403-2296087

1 loaf cinnamon bread (homemade or store bought)
6 large eggs
3/4 cup whipping cream
3/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Whipped cream
Cinnamon syrup (recipe below)

– Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
– In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until well blended.
– Add the cream, milk, and sugar and whisk until well mixed.
– Melt 1 tablespoon of butter on a large nonstick griddle over medium heat.
– Dip 3 slices of cinnamon bread into the custard, turning to allow both sides to absorb the custard.
– Grill the soaked bread slices until they are golden brown and firm to the touch, about 4 minutes per side.
– Transfer the French toast to a baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven.
– Repeat with the remaining butter, bread slices, and custard.

– Transfer the French toast to plates. Dollop the fresh whipped cream atop each. Lightly dust with the powdered sugar (optional). Drizzle the cinnamon syrup over and around the French toast and serve immediately.

Cinnamon Syrup
(which I doubled)

2 cups water
2 cups packed dark brown sugar
4 tablespoons whipping cream
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Combine water and brown sugar in a heavy medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Boil until the syrup reduces to 2 cups, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the cream and cinnamon. Keep the syrup warm. (The syrup can be made 1 day ahead. Cool, then cover and refrigerate. Rewarm before serving.)
