Ingredients
Eggs
2 (beaten)
Fat-free half-and-half
1/2 cup
Chai liqueur
1/4 cup
Sugar
1 tablespoon
Vanilla extract
1 teaspoon
Cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon

Instructions
1
In a large shallow dish, whisk together the beaten eggs, fat-free half-and-half, chai liqueur, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.
2
Carefully immerse the slices of French bread in the egg mixture, allowing them to soak for about 2 minutes. Then flip them over and let them soak for an additional 2 minutes to absorb more flavor.
3
Heat a large skillet over medium heat, then add the butter, allowing it to melt completely.
4
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of brown sugar on each side of the soaked bread slices, pressing gently to help it adhere.
5
Cook the bread in the skillet for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until each slice is golden brown and crisp. Monitor the cooking process carefully to avoid burning the sugar; if it starts to burn, clean the skillet with a paper towel before continuing.
6
Once caramelized, transfer the finished French toast to plates. Top with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream and, if desired, a drizzle of extra chai liqueur.
