This delicious French toast is crispy and loaded with cinnamon flavor, just like a churro!
What is a Churro?
Here in the south we see this delicious treat a lot—at fairs and other events.
Churros are made from fried dough (a choux pastry), which is piped into hot oil. They are loaded with a crunchy cinnamon-sugar exterior which gives them a lovely crunch!
I have been on a roll making French toast lately and kept stumbling across this “churro” version so I decided to give it a try. The outcome? Y’all, it’s delicious. It’s not your grandma’s French toast! (Not that there was anything wrong with grandma’s, but you get my point.)
Church French Toast Ingredients
- 4 pieces of bread (your choice)
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons white or brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Glaze
- 2 tablespoons room temperature cream cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- Dash milk
How to Make Churro French Toast
Combine sugar and cinnamon on a plate and set aside. (You can use brown or white but a true churro utilizes brown sugar.)
Make the glaze by combining cream cheese, powdered sugar, dash of milk, and vanilla. Stir well and set aside.
Place butter in skillet and let it slowly melt
Meanwhile, in a bowl large enough to hold a piece of your bread mix together the eggs and 1/4 cup milk. Whisk well.
Dip in egg on both sides and place in the sizzling skillet. Cook until golden on both sides.
Cook all four pieces then coat in cinnamon sugar mixture on both sides.
Place back in the skillet to crisp up on both sides. This will give the toast that crunchy churro feel.
Drizzle with cream cheese glaze.
Serve and enjoy!
