Fragrant Cinnamon Nutmeg French Toast when Going Nutty at the Lake
 
 
Ingredients
  • Unsliced loaf of french white or whole-wheat bread
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • ½ tsp vanilla flavoring
  • pinch salt
  • pinch cane sugar
  • maple syrup
  • berries
  • orange slices
  • banana slices
Instructions
  1. Preheat skillet on medium high temperature.
  2. Crack 3 eggs into a large, wide mouth bowl and whisk with vigor. Add milk. Stir all other ingredients in order.
  3. Slice loaf of bread into thickset slices. Thick slices take slightly longer to cook through in the middle so use a lower setting on the stove and let them be for a while longer.
  4. Dollop a pat of creamy butter or a sparing amount of oil onto your hot pan. Pick up a piece of bread by hand and quickly dredge through the egg and milk mixture, mopping up the egg mixture. Plop into golden sizzling butter and repeat. (Hint: don’t soak for too long… might get too soggy and fall apart.)
  5. When toasted golden brown, toss up and over to brown the other side.
  6. Splash with maple syrup, berries, orange slices…
  7. Variations
  8. The measurements in this recipe are quite adaptable. You can’t go wrong with more eggs or more milk, in fact I almost never measure. If using more eggs than milk you’ll get more protein, which is always a good thing. I use skim milk but you can use any milk or cream, just make sure you hit the gym afterwards! The pinch or two of sugar helps to brown and caramelize the bread… also a pretty yummy occurrence!
  9. Vanilla can be replaced with some orange or lemon zest. I haven’t tried almond flavoring, but I think it would be delicious!
