Ingredients
Scale
Batter and Coating
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional)
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Bread and Butter
- ½ French baguette, sliced into 12 half-inch rounds
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
Cinnamon Sugar and Filling
- ¼ cup cinnamon sugar (or ¼ cup granulated sugar + 1 teaspoon cinnamon)
- Ice cream or frozen yogurt (your choice of flavor)
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar (if using), ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Heat the skillet: Place a skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter, ensuring it coats the surface.
- Dip the baguette slices: Quickly dip each baguette slice into the egg mixture, coating both sides thoroughly but briefly to avoid sogginess.
- Cook the slices: Place the coated slices onto the hot skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter as needed and repeat with any remaining slices.
- Coat with cinnamon sugar: While the slices are still warm, roll each piece in the cinnamon sugar mixture ensuring an even coating.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Let the slices cool slightly to avoid melting the ice cream too fast. Scoop your preferred ice cream or frozen yogurt onto one slice and top with another to form a sandwich.
- Serve or chill: Serve immediately for a soft-serve experience or freeze the sandwiches for 30 minutes to allow them to firm up for a colder, more structured treat.
Notes
- Use a sturdy baguette to prevent the slices from becoming too soggy during dipping.
- If you prefer, substitute frozen yogurt for ice cream to reduce fat content.
- For extra crunch, toast the baguette slices lightly before dipping in the egg mixture.
- You can prepare the cinnamon sugar by mixing ¼ cup granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon if premade is unavailable.
- Freezing the sandwiches before serving helps them hold together better, especially if transporting.
- Customize your ice cream flavor to complement the cinnamon coating, such as vanilla, caramel, or churro-flavored ice cream.
