Cinnamon Swirl French Toast

This is some French toast made with my father's cinnamon swirl bread. He has made this bread two different ways, once by hand (see {Cinnamon Swirl Bread}) and once using my bread machine (see {Machine Cinnamon Swirl Bread}). I cannot actually remember which one this is, but I am pretty sure it is the machine version. We wanted a quick supper one night, and decided to make French toast. We had some of this bread in the freezer, and I though it would make really good French toast. If I remember correctly, this bread was a little dry (so it must have been the machine bread) and sometimes bread does dry out even a little more after being in the freezer. So French toast was a great way to bring new life into this delicious bread, without totally transforming it. It may not look much different than the bread itself, but once this is dipped in an egg and milk mixture and fried in a little butter, it becomes crispy on the outside and soft and moist on the inside and quite tasty. A little cinnamon added to the French toast batter enhances the flavor of this bread. And this does make one huge, yummy slice of French toast for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, or dessert!
