Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices whole grain bread
- 4 large eggs
- 1.5 cups low-fat milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 cup fresh berries (optional, for serving)
- 0.5 cup pure maple syrup (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with the unsalted butter.
Arrange the slices of whole grain bread in the prepared baking dish, overlapping slightly if necessary.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and honey until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread slices in the baking dish, ensuring all pieces are well-coated.
Allow the mixture to sit for about 5-10 minutes so the bread can absorb the egg mixture.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve with fresh berries and pure maple syrup if desired.
