Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 6 slices day-old bread (thick slices)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 medium apples (peeled, cored, and sliced)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for apples)
- 0.25 cup maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
Dip a slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for 5-10 seconds on each side.
Place the soaked bread onto the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining slices, adding more butter as needed. Transfer the cooked French toast to a plate and keep warm.
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the sliced apples, brown sugar, and 0.5 teaspoons of cinnamon. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes until the apples are soft and caramelized.
Pour the maple syrup over the cooked apples and stir to coat. Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer for another minute until slightly thickened.
To serve, place two slices of French toast on a plate and spoon the apple sizzle mixture over the top. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
