Your Next Brunch Needs This Cinnamon French Toast Fingers Recipe

Ingredients:
Serves 2

— 4 thick slices of 1-day old brioche bread (you can use fresh brioche if you can’t wait for it to dry for a day)

— 2 large eggs

— 1/4 cup milk

— 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

— 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter

— 1/2 cup granulated sugar

— 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Raspberry mascarpone dip:
— 1 cup raspberries

— 1 cup mascarpone cheese

— 1/3 cup confectioners sugar

— 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Mix together the sugar and cinnamon on a plate and put to one side.

2. Next make the raspberry dip. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar and vanilla extract using a whisk. Carefully fold in the raspberries, then cover and place in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve.

3. Cut the crusts off the brioche and slice the bread into fingers.

4. Whisk together the eggs, milk and vanilla extract and put to one side.

5. Heat the butter in a large frying pan. Briefly dip the bread sticks in the egg mixture, turning to coat and place in the frying pan.
