Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat wine and honey in a small saucepan over medium until simmering, ~3 min. Remove from heat and let cool 2 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Whisk eggs with 1 tbsp sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl until smooth.

  3. Step 3

    Dip bread slices into wine syrup for 1–2 seconds per side—just coat, don't soak.

  4. Step 4

    Dip each syrup-coated slice into egg mixture, coating both sides fully.

  5. Step 5

    Heat olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, ~90 sec. Fry bread slices 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and custard-set inside.

  6. Step 6

    Transfer to a plate, sprinkle with remaining 2 tbsp sugar, and drizzle with leftover wine syrup. Serve warm.
