Spiced French Toast Recipes

Steps:

• Mix 3 tbsp of the butter with half the cinnamon and mash together. Beat together the egg, milk and remaining cinnamon. Sandwich 2 slices of hot cross bun together with half the cinnamon butter and repeat with the remaining two slices.
• Dip in the egg mix and leave to soak for a few secs. Heat the butter in a frying pan until foaming. Cook the hot cross buns for 1-2 mins each side until light golden (you may need to do this in two batches). Press down on them as you cook. Serve each portion topped with a scoop of ice cream and a drizzle of maple syrup, if you like.

Steps:

• Mix whole milk and brown sugar in a large bowl.
• Beat eggs, vanilla extract, almond extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice together in a separate bowl until the eggs are well beaten; add to the milk mixture and stir to dissolve the brown sugar.
• Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat.
• Set one slice of Texas toast into the milk mixture; let soak until moistened, about 10 seconds per side.
• Cook the dipped toast in the preheated skillet until bottom is golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes; flip toast and continue to cook until the other side is browned, 3 to 5 minutes more. Repeat dipping and cooking with remaining bread slices.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°F Place a large dinner plate in the warmed oven.
• Whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg in a wide shallow dish and set aside.
• Heat a non-stick skillet or a cast iron skillet that has been lightly buttered over medium high heat.
• Dip each piece of bread, one by one, into the egg and milk mixture. Drain excess mixture and place in the hot skillet.
• Cook until just browned on the bottom, watching the toast carefully (just a couple of minutes). Turn, and brown the other side.
• Adjust heat to medium, if necessary, to prevent burning. Place in the oven on warmed plate while preparing the remaining pieces.
• Just before serving, heat the jam in a small saucepan with a small amount of apple juice to desired consistency.
• Drizzle over the top of the French toast and serve immediately.
