How to Make Caramel French Toast

  1. Heat your griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
  2. Slice your bread into 1-inch thick slices (approximately 6-8 slices, depending on the size of your loaf).
  3. In a shallow dish, whisk together 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon until light and frothy.
  4. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
  5. Place bread slices on the preheated griddle. Immediately sprinkle both sides generously with 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and the brown sugar has caramelized into a crispy crust. Flip carefully using a spatula.
  7. Keep cooked French toast warm in a 200°F oven or on a wire rack while you cook the remaining slices.
  8. Serve immediately, drizzled with your favorite maple syrup and optionally topped with fresh berries or whipped cream. Enjoy the delightful caramel crunch!
  9. Tip: For extra caramelization, you can briefly broil the French toast after cooking for the final 30 seconds.
