Health and fertility benefits of Croissant French Toast

Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly. (Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11506060).

Ingredients

8 whole Croissants (a Rounder Shape Is Best)
5 whole Eggs
1/4 cup Half-and-half
2 Tablespoons Sugar
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
Butter, For Frying And Serving
Warm Syrup, For Serving
Strawberries, For Serving (optional)
Whipped Cream, For Serving (optional)

Instructions

Split the croissants in half through the middle.
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. Dunk each croissant half into the mixture so that it's fully coated. Set pieces aside on a plate.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over low heat, then melt a small amount of butter. Add as many pieces as will fit, cut side down, then increase the heat very slightly (don't go above medium-low).
Allow the toast to cook on the first side for 3 to 4 minutes. Move it around in the skillet a bit to make sure it doesn't burn. When it's deep golden brown on the surface, flip it to the other side and let it cook for another 2 minutes or so.
Remove from the pan and cook the rest of the croissant halves.
Serve a top and bottom piece together with butter, warm syrup, strawberries, and whipped cream. Absolute heaven!
