Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tablespoon sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¾ cup milk
- 6 medium slices of bread
- Butter to grease the pan
Instructions
- In a bowl, beat the eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and milk until well combined.
- Place a shallow pan on the stove and when hot add butter. You can add a teaspoon of oil to prevent the butter from burning if wish!
- Dip the bread slices in the custard mixture for few seconds and place in the pan. Fry on medium low until golden at the bottom.
- Flip and cook the other side until golden. Repeat with all slices.
- Do not fry French toast on high heat, the slices will turn dark brown, and the custard won’t be cooked.
- Serve with butter and honey or maple syrup.
Notes
- To use fresh bread, toast it until dry but not brown, and then make French Toast.
- If you don’t have large eggs, then use 4 medium size eggs.
- Use lemon or orange zest instead of vanilla in this recipe.
- If using Brioche bread to make French Toast, do not use heavy cream and stick to milk only.
- To keep the French Toast warm, place it in a preheated oven a few minutes before serving.
- Storing and freezing methods are mentioned in the post.
- You can skip adding sugar to the custard and sweeten this dish by drizzling honey or maple syrup before serving.
