You can’t make a good French Toast with bad bread. This decadent breakfast dish is best made with Challah, but a nice dense loaf of French bread will also work. Fresh butter and real maple syrup ONLY. This recipe will make enough batter for 8-10 slices of bread.
3 eggs
2 Tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
dash ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon vanilla
1 cup milk
1 small loaf Challah (or French bread)
Vegetable oil for frying
Butter & Maple Syrup, to accompany
In deep bowl place eggs, sugar, spices and vanilla. Whip with wire whisk. Add milk, stir to mix. Heat large skillet and coat bottom with oil for frying. Cut bread into 1″ thick slices. Dip each slice of bread into batter, turning several times to coat. Fill bottom of skillet with battered bread slices and fry until brown. Turn, and fry the other side until brown. Serve hot with warm maple syrup and butter.
Serves 4 or 6.
