Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 6 slices Thick slices of bread (brioche or challah recommended)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- Maple syrup (for serving)
- Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- Fresh fruit (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, coating the surface evenly.
Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated, but take care not to oversaturate the bread.
Carefully place the coated bread slice onto the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining slices of bread, adding the second tablespoon of butter to the skillet as needed.
Remove the French toast slices from the skillet. Serve warm with maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, and fresh fruit, if desired.
