A delightful twist on classic French toast, featuring a hint of cinnamon and a crispy golden crust.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and position the rack in the center.
Preheating the oven ensures even cooking and a perfect finish.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cream, eggs, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
Whisk thoroughly to ensure the cinnamon is evenly distributed.
Arrange the bread slices in a single layer in a baking dish.
Using a single layer ensures all slices soak evenly.
Pour the batter over the bread slices, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let it soak for 2 minutes, flipping once.
Allowing the bread to soak ensures a rich and creamy texture.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a thin layer of oil. Fry each slice until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side.
Maintain a consistent heat to avoid burning the bread.
Transfer the fried slices to a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes to puff up.
Baking adds a light and airy texture to the toast.
Dust the French toast with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
