Best. French toast. Ever.

I splurged on an expensive loaf of cinnamon swirl bread from Idylwilde. I've bought this before. It is sooooooo good. It's made within a couple days of purchase at the most and the ingredient list on the label has only a handful on things- mostly flour, eggs and cinnamon. I decided to use it for french toast this weekend and it was phenomenal. I sliced it thick and let it soak in my egg and half and half mixture (which also had a splash of vanilla extract added to it) for about an hour before putting it on the griddle. The end result was super flavorful and like a soft custard on the inside. Fantastic!
