Ricotta Cinnamon French Toast

Introduction

This Ricotta Cinnamon French Toast will be your new Sunday brunch staple! Using our Cinnamon Loaf sliced thick, this buttery, sweet French Toast puts a creamy spin on the traditional French Toast.

Directions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, butter, milk, ricotta cheese, vanilla bean paste, sugar, salt and lemon zest. Submerge each piece of bread into the egg mixture until each slice is completely covered (leave each slice in the mixture for about 30 seconds to fully coat). Arrange each piece on a baking sheet. Pour the remaining mixture over the slices. Cover and place in the fridge for 1 hour or overnight.
  • Heat a skillet with butter. Once butter browns, add first few pieces of French Toast. Cook for 4 minutes then flip to the other side and cook for an additional 2 minutes or until the edges are slightly browned. Transfer the cooked French Toast slices to a baking sheet and continue with the rest of the slices. Add additional butter and wait for it to brown when all butter gets absorbed in between. When finished, top with ricotta whipped cream, blackberry jam and fresh blackberries.
  • Top with maple syrup as desired!
