  • Repeat with the remaining slices of bread, adding 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan between slices.
  • Serve immediately or place in a 250°F oven on a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Don't leave the bread slices for too long in the egg mixture, and be sure to let the excess drop off. Otherwise, the bread will become soggy and fall apart.
  • When you’re dipping the toast in the cinnamon-sugar, be sure to coat it all over for maximum flavor.
  • Keep the finished slices of French toast warm in a 250°F oven until ready to serve.
  • Serve with maple syrup, honey, vanilla icing, chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, or whipped cream.
Storage: Store churro French toast in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
