Sounds yummy!!! I make mine the same way and I agree...soaking the bread makes the best French Toast! I've never tried the cinnamon but will do next time. I use protein bread and add a scoop of vanilla protein powder that way I can pretend it's healthy!

After reading this thread, I have such a taste for french toast...that I'm going to make it for dinner. Yes, that's right...I said DINNER.
I can eat breakfast ANYTIME of the day. I'll make mine with my low-sodium Ezekial bread, and hubby gets his with regular whole wheat. Will also have some turkey breakfast links on the side. Yummmmm!

You could probably invent a savory French toast for supper --maybe partially cooked sundried tomato with chopped kalamata olives and put into egg solution. Plus dip bread and pan fry it. Serve with fresh herbs.

Serve abit of salsa sauce on side or whatever seems good.
Made up this dish ..without even trying it in real life. I'm such a dreamer.

Panetone works really well too.
Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

I've never heard of French toast NOT being soaked...isn't that the norm? In my family, it's called pan-pan du, which is Cajun for pain perdu, which is French for lost bread. We always soak stale bread in egg-milk-vanilla-cinnamon mixture, and then cook it in the skillet.
Since I make my own bread, I often have some that goes stale before I can eat it. It goes stale in about two days. I just keep a supply of stale bread in the freezer for my pan-pan du.
Oh, and if you add a splash of whiskey, it's really wonderful.

I've heard eggnog as the soaking liquid makes a nice French toast. Seasonal only, though.
At least I don't leave slime trails.
