Bagel French Toast

Bagels make a french toast that is extra satisfying - the custard soaks into all those nooks and crannies. Adding cinnamon whipped cream puts it over the top.

Equipment

  • 9x9 Baking Dish
  • Skillet
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Stand or Handheld Mixer

Ingredients

For the French Toast:

  • 6 Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 Bagels, halved (just about any flavor will work, but plain or slightly sweet flavors are my preference)
  • 1 Tablespoon Unsalted Butter

For the Whipped Cream Cheese:

  • 4 ounces Cream Cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 Tablespoon Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon

Instructions

  • In a square baking dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt. Add the bagel halves and flip to coat both sides. Soak the bagels cut-side down in the egg mixture in the refrigerator for at least an hour or overnight.
  • Melt butter in a large pan over medium heat. Use a fork to transfer the bagels to the pan (discard egg mixture), and cook on both sides until golden brown and crisp.
  • While bagels are cooking, beat cream cheese, sugar and cinnamon until light and fluffy. (If too thick, add a bit of milk.)
  • Serve bagels topped with whipped cream cheese.
