Apple cinnamon French Toast

Once in a while  I like to spoil myself for breakfast with my favorite French toast;apple cinnamon bread with a dollop of mascarpone on top and drizzled all over with homemade syrup. Its just so yummy!!!

Syrup:

1 cup  water

1 cup dark brown sugar

2 tablsp. heavy whipping cream

½ teasp. ground cinnamon

French Toast:

8  slices of apple cinnamon bread cut into ¾ inch thick ( you can use any other bread, other one I like is raisin bread from panera bread)

6 eggs

¾ cup whipping cream

¾ cup  whole milk

¼ cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons butter

mascarpone

powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

For the syrup: pour in the water and brown sugar in to  medium saucepan.bring to a boil on a high heat.boil for 8-10 minutes until the syrup reduces to approximately 1 cup.remove from heat and whisk in the cream and cinnamon if you like.

French toast:In a medium bowl,whisk the eggs. Add the cream,milk, and sugar and whisk until well combined.

Melt 1 tablespoon  butter on a large nonstick griddle or a pan over medium heat. Dip slices of bread in to the mixture, turning allowing both sides to absorb the mixture. Griddle until they are golden brown ( about 5 minutes on each side).

Transfer the French toast to plates.put a dollop of mascarpone on top of each. Dust with powdered sugar if you like, and pour the syrup over and around the French toast. Enjoy!
