BBQ Grilled Cinnamon French Toast
Grilled cinnamon French toast is an exciting twist on the classic breakfast, made truly special by the BBQ technique. The subtle smokiness of the charcoal or gas grill further enhances the sweet aroma of cinnamon and maple syrup. French toast was originally widely known in France, where it became popular under the name 'pain perdu.' This simple dish made from leftover bread has now become a favorite breakfast in many countries around the world. The aim of this grilled version is to keep the outside crispy and the inside soft, while adding subtle smoky notes. This recipe is an ideal choice for a hearty breakfast or as a dessert. If you crave an even more exciting taste experience, try serving it with fresh fruit or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Preparation Steps
1
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup or honey, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt until well combined.
2
Preheat the grill to medium heat. Grease the grill grates with a little melted butter to prevent the bread from sticking.
3
Dip the bread slices into the cinnamon-egg mixture, ensuring each side is evenly coated but not overly soaked.
4
Place the French toast slices on the grill grates and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
5
Before serving, drizzle with a little extra maple syrup or honey, and sprinkle with powdered sugar for added sweetness, if desired.
