Equipment
Ingredients
- 5 large eggs
- ¾ cup whole milk
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1 loaf challah bread, cut into 1-inch slices
- Pinch of salt
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil (or other neutral oil)
Instructions
- In a shallow casserole dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Heat a large cast iron skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of butter and vegetable oil. Let the butter melt completely.
- Dip both sides of 2-3 slices of bread in the egg mixture (I flip them quickly so they don’t get soggy). Let any excess egg drip off the bread and place into heated pan.
- Cook the French toast 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Transfer cooked slices on a baking sheet with a wire rack and place in the oven preheated to 250 degrees F to keep warm. You could also place them on a large plate and tent with aluminum foil.
- Repeat cooking process with remaining slices of bread. When ready, serve the French toast with maple syrup, dust with powdered sugar and add fresh berries on the side. Enjoy!
