There are days when nothing sounds better than comfort food — the kind that warms the kitchen, fogs up the windows, and makes you slow down for a moment.

Today was one of those days here on the Wicomico.

With frigid temperatures settling in and the river wrapped in that quiet, frozen stillness, we found ourselves craving something warm, familiar, and comforting. And while our Cinnamon & Raisin Bread is already hard to beat toasted with a good slab of butter… tonight, we decided to take it somewhere unexpected.

We turned it into French toast.

From Loaf to Comfort Food

Our Cinnamon & Raisin Bread starts as a soft, gently spiced loaf, studded with plump raisins and just the right amount of cinnamon — not sweet like dessert, but comforting in that old-fashioned, breakfast-bread way.

It’s the kind of bread you usually think of for:

• Toasted mornings
• Butter melting into every nook
• A cup of coffee or tea on a cold day

But on nights like this, rules go out the window.

The Unconventional Dinner

Instead of planning a traditional dinner, we leaned into what felt right.

Thick slices of cinnamon bread.
A simple French toast custard.
A hot griddle.
And the smell of cinnamon filling the kitchen while the wind whipped outside.

No fuss.
No complicated recipes.
Just real food doing what it does best — bringing comfort.

Why Cinnamon & Raisin Bread Makes the BEST French Toast

There’s something magical that happens when cinnamon bread meets a hot griddle.

• The exterior turns golden and crisp
• The inside stays soft and custardy
• The raisins warm and almost melt into the crumb
• The cinnamon blooms without being overpowering

Add a drizzle of syrup (or honey), maybe a pat of butter, and suddenly you’ve got a meal that feels like a hug.

Comfort Food, Cottage-Kitchen Style

This is exactly how our bread is meant to be enjoyed — not just sliced and sold, but lived with.

Turned into toast.
Made into French toast.
Eaten for breakfast, dinner, or somewhere in between.

Because sometimes the best meals aren’t planned — they’re made from what you already love, on the cold nights when comfort matters most.

The Verdict?

We’ll say it confidently:

Cinnamon & Raisin Bread French Toast might just be better than regular French toast.

And on a cold night on the Wicomico… it was exactly what we needed.
