Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix eggs, vanilla, evaporated milk, sugar, and cinnamon well.
- Dip bread into the mixture, coating both sides well.
- Cook on a grill or frying pan coated with vegetable spray until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or substituting half of the evaporated milk with heavy cream. If you're looking for a lighter option, almond milk or oat milk works well too. Make sure to let the bread soak in the mixture briefly to absorb enough flavor without becoming too soggy. For a fun twist, try adding some peanut butter to the mixture for a unique taste.
Serving Suggestions
Serve C. A. T. Toast warm, topped with fresh fruits like bananas or strawberries, and a drizzle of maple syrup for added sweetness. It pairs beautifully with a side of yogurt or a fresh fruit salad for a balanced breakfast. For a delightful dessert, consider serving it alongside Aunt Kathy'S Buckeyes for a sweet treat combination.
