Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 6 slices Thick-Cut Bread Slices (Brioche or Challah preferred)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- as desired Maple Syrup
- optional for garnish Powdered Sugar
- optional for garnish Fresh Berries
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, brown sugar, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Pour the mixture into a shallow dish, such as a pie pan or casserole dish, to make dipping the bread easier.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and let it melt, spreading evenly across the surface.
Dip one slice of bread at a time into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 10-15 seconds per side. Make sure the bread is evenly coated but not soggy.
Place the coated bread slices onto the preheated skillet or griddle. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining slices, adding the second tablespoon of butter as needed for subsequent batches.
Serve the French toast warm, drizzled with maple syrup and garnished with a dusting of powdered sugar and fresh berries if desired.
