Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
  1. In a flat dish, thoroughly combine the eggs, cinnamon, vanilla, 1/2 cup of milk, and salt. Make sure the eggs are well scrambled and mixed evenly with the other ingredients.
  2. Dredge each piece of bread in the liquid mixture, coating both sides, letting any excess drip off.
  3. In a pan, heat 1 tsp butter on medium to medium-low heat. Add the bread and cook until the first side is golden. Flip and continue cooking until golden on the second side. Total cook time is around 5-6 minutes.
  4. Continue steps 2 & 3 until all pieces of bread are coated and cooked.
  5. For the drizzle, whisk together the softened (but not melted) cream cheese, milk, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. It might appear lumpy at first, but continue whisking for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth. If desired, add more sugar to make it sweeter. Drizzle over the french toast.
  6. Optional: top with candied pecans and dust with powdered sugar. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

When making the cream cheese drizzle, ensure the cream cheese is softened but not melted. For a sweeter drizzle, gradually add more powdered sugar. If the mixture is too thick, add a few more drops of milk. Any lumps will smooth out after sufficient whisking. And if you’re allergic to nuts or simply don't care for them, feel free to omit them altogether!
