Ingredients
4 slices thick-cut bread (Brioche or Texas toast)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk (whole, 2%, almond, or dairy-free alternative)
1 teaspoon non-alcoholic vanilla flavoring
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (1 for egg mixture + 1 for coating)
1/4 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
1/4 cup butter (salted or unsalted)
Extra cinnamon and sugar for coating
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, non-alcoholic vanilla flavoring, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon until smooth.
Melt half of the butter in the skillet until it’s foaming.
Dip each bread slice into the egg mixture, coating both sides evenly.
Cook each slice in the skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar with the remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon for coating.
Place the toasted slices on a wire rack and sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over both sides.
Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dollop of whipped cream (optional).
Notes
For gluten-free: use certified gluten-free bread.
For dairy-free: substitute butter with a non-dairy fried dough coating oil (like coconut oil) and use plant-based milk.
To reduce sweetness, use 1/8 cup granulated sugar in the coating.
Additional cinnamon in the egg mixture is optional for a stronger churro flavor.
