- 8 slices thick-cut brioche bread Soft and rich, perfect for soaking up the egg mixture.
- 4 large eggs Adds richness and helps bind the ingredients together.
- 1 cup whole milk Creamy and satisfying, it ensures the French toast is moist.

Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, creating a rich custard base.
- Take four slices of brioche bread and generously spread the churro filling on one side, covering it evenly.
- Top these slices with the remaining slices of bread to create delicious sandwiches, pressing down gently to help them hold together.
- Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated thoroughly for maximum flavor absorption.
- In a shallow dish, mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together, creating a fragrant blend.
Cooking
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat and add butter, allowing it to melt.
- Cook each sandwich for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden-brown, flipping carefully.
- Roll each sandwich in the warm cinnamon sugar mixture, coating generously for extra sweetness.
Serving
- Serve warm with syrup or fresh berries.
Notes
Use thick-cut bread to prevent sogginess. Don’t rush cooking to develop a golden-brown crust. Experiment with unique fillings for variations.
