Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices thick slices of rustic bread (such as oat or wholemeal)
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for serving
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup or golden syrup (optional)
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until fully combined.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt and coat the surface evenly.
Dip one slice of bread at a time into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated but not overly soaked to avoid breaking.
Place the coated bread slices onto the heated skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until both sides are golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining slices of bread, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Once all slices are cooked, transfer them to a plate. Serve warm with additional butter, maple syrup, or golden syrup drizzled on top.
Optional: Garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar or a side of fresh fruits like berries for added flavor.
