Instructions
Creating French Toast Tacos is straightforward with these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
2. Cut the Bread: Using a cookie cutter, cut out shapes from the slices of brioche or challah. Aim for rounds or hearts, depending on your preference.
3. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet or frying pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
4. Dip the Bread: Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing them to soak up some batter for a few seconds.
5. Cook the Bread: Carefully place the soaked bread slices into the hot skillet. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
6. Make the Tacos: Once cooked, transfer the slices to a plate and form them into taco shapes. Gently fold them to create the taco pocket.
7. Fill the Tacos: Now, fill each taco shell with your desired ingredients. You can layer fresh fruit, whipped cream, chocolate chips, or savory items such as crisp bacon.
8. Drizzle and Dust: Finish by drizzling some maple syrup over the top and, if desired, dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
9. Serve Warm: Serve your delicious French Toast Tacos warm and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors!
