Prep Time 10 minutes mins
Servings 5

Ingredients  

• 3 large eggs
• ¼ cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• ⅓ cup sugar divided
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon divided
• 1½ cups panko bread crumbs
• 6-10 slices bread

Instructions 

• Grease a baking sheet and set aside. Pre-heat the oven to 375℉.
• In a shallow, wide dish whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, vanilla, half of the sugar and half of the cinnamon.
• In a second shallow, wide dish combine the Panko breadcrumbs with the remaining sugar and cinnamon. Set both dishes aside for later.
• Dunk a slice of bread into the egg mixture, turning to coat each side. Allow the excess mixture to drip off back into the dish.
• Place the egg coated slice of bread into the second dish of panko crumbs. Gently press down to help the crumbs stick. Turn the bread over to coat both sides.
• Place the coated bread slice on the greased pan in a single layer. Repeat this process till all slices of bread are coated.
• Put baking sheet in the oven and allow to bake for 12 minutes. Pull pan from the oven and flip each piece over to toast other side. Bake for an additional 4-8 minutes until both sides are golden brown and crispy.
• Remove pan from the oven and serve slices with favorite breakfast toppings and syrup.
