Cinnamon French Toast Bagels
Cinnamon French Toast Bagels are crispy, golden, and infused with warm cinnamon flavor. A quick and delicious breakfast treat for any day!
Ingredients
- 2 cinnamon raisin bagels or plain bagels with a dash of cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk or half-and-half for extra richness
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp butter for cooking
- Powdered sugar maple syrup, and fresh berries (for serving)
Instructions
- Slice the bagels in half horizontally.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add the butter.
- Dip each bagel half into the custard mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
- Place the soaked bagels on the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crisp.
- Remove from the pan and serve warm with powdered sugar, maple syrup, and fresh berries.
Notes
- Use day-old bagels for better absorption of the custard mixture.
- Let the bagels soak for a few extra seconds to ensure they absorb all the flavors.
- Cook on medium heat to avoid burning while achieving a crispy exterior.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in a toaster oven or skillet.
