Classic French Toast
Cinnamon, nutmeg, and butter make this easy French toast recipe a winner.
Ingredients
-
4 large eggs
-
2/3 cup milk
-
2 teaspoons cinnamon
-
Pinch nutmeg
-
8 thick slices slightly stale Italian bread ¾ inch
-
2 tablespoons melted butter or neutral oil
-
Maple syrup, butter, fruit, and confectioners’ sugar for serving
Description
-
Whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Add in any other spices or seasonings at this time; you can add a pinch of ground cardamom or allspice if you like for an extra touch. Whisk egg mixture until well blended and pour into a wide shallow bowl or cake pan.
-
Place each slice of bread into egg mixture, immersing bread and allowing it to soak for 1 minute.
-
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Lift bread from egg mixture, letting excess egg drip off before placing bread in skillet. Fry French toast until browned on one side, about 2 minutes. Flip and brown on other side, about 2 minutes. Repeat with remaining bread. Serve French toast hot with butter, maple syrup, and/or fresh berries or other fruit. Dust with confectioners’ sugar if desired.
