A delicious twist on classic French toast, perfect for using up stale bread.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 4 slices of brioche or sourdough bread
  • Butter for cooking
  • Maple syrup or honey for serving

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  2. Cut the bread into thick slices and submerge them in the egg mixture for about 20-30 seconds per side.
  3. Heat a non-stick griddle or frying pan over medium heat and add butter.

Notes

For the best flavor, use sturdy breads like brioche, challah, or sourdough. Avoid over-soaking to maintain texture.
