The Ultimate Cinnamon Swirl French Toast

In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg (if using). Mix until smooth and spreadable.

Spread a generous layer of the cinnamon butter onto one side of each slice of bread.

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream (if using), sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Dip each slice of bread, swirl-side up, into the custard, ensuring both sides are well coated. Allow excess custard to drip off.

Melt the butter in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Place the soaked bread slices in the hot skillet, swirl-side up. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Watch closely to prevent burning.

Serve hot and enjoy!
