Classic French Toast with a Twist

Whip up a batch of classic French toast with a delightful twist, perfect for a sweet homemade breakfast that brings the joy of Sunday to any day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 thick slices of challah or brioche bread
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Maple syrup, for serving
  • Fresh berries or sliced banana, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
  2. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
  3. Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  4. Place the coated bread slices in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh berries, or sliced banana.

Notes

  • Using thicker bread slices helps them absorb the egg mixture without becoming too soggy.
  • Challah or brioche bread gives the French toast a richer flavor and softer texture.
  • Adjust the cinnamon and nutmeg to your preference.
