Perfect French Toast For Breakfast in Bed

The Best French Toast Recipe to Try this Weekend

 

While French toast may not technically be from France, we still think it’s the perfect lazy day brunch food. Treat yourself to some scrumptious French toast while basking in the sun- there’s no better way to enjoy the summer! 

Ingredients:

• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg 
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 
• 2 tablespoons sugar 
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 4 eggs
• ¼ cup milk 
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract 
• 8 slices challah, brioche, or white bread 
• ½ cup maple syrup, warmed 

Instructions: 

1. In a small bowl, combine cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar and set aside briefly. 
2. In a 10-inch or 12-inch skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk together cinnamon mixture, eggs, milk, and vanilla and pour into a shallow container such as a pie plate. Dip bread in egg mixture. Fry slices until golden brown, then flip to cook the other side. Serve with syrup. 

Protip: Use stale bread, thicker bread works best, and pay attention to your soaking time (shorter= drier toast, longer= more custardy)!

After making the perfect French toast, make sure to put on your favorite toppings! We suggest fresh fruit, whipped cream, and some warmed syrup.
