Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Your Workspace: Set up your cooking area with a large shallow dish and a non-stick skillet. Preheat the skillet over medium heat at around 350°F.
  2. Whisk the Custard: In the shallow dish, add eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and optional nutmeg. Whisk until smooth and light golden.
  3. Slice the Bread: Slice the cinnamon swirl bread into thick pieces, about ¾ inch wide. Arrange the slices for easy access.
  4. Dip the Bread: Dip each slice into the custard, soaking for 10-15 seconds on each side.
  5. Heat the Butter: Add a pat of butter to the skillet and melt it until bubbling.
  6. Cook the French Toast: Place soaked bread slices in the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  7. Prepare the Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  8. Serve and Drizzle: Remove the French toast from the skillet and serve warm, drizzling the glaze over the top.
