Cinnamon French Toast with Cream Cheese Glazei3

A classic french toast recipe with vanilla, cinnamon and a cream cheese glaze drizzled on warm toasted artisan bread slices.

Ingredients

• 4 bread slices (I love to use sourdough artisan bread. It has a more chewy texture and won't get soggy.)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon heavy cream
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, for frying

Glaze

• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened (room temp.)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• powdered sugar for dusting the tops of bread, optional

Instructions

1. Cream all the ingredients together for the glaze, in a medium mixing bowl. Set aside.
2. Heat a large skillet or frying pan on medium to high heat. As the skillet is heating up, prepare the egg mixture for the bread.
3. In a wide medium mixing bowl, combine the eggs, heavy cream, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. Whisk until all combined.
