Ingredients

  • 15 Slices Bread
  • 8 Large Eggs
  • 3/4 Cup Milk (any milk you like)
  • 1/4 Cup Light Brown Sugar, packed
  • 1 Tbsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 Tsp Ground Nutmeg
  • Pinch of Salt
  • Unsalted Butter for Cooking French Toast (1 tbsp per each batch, about 4-5 tbsp)
  • For Topping: Confectioner’s Sugar, Maple Syrup, Berry Chia Jam (see recipe link)

Instructions

  • In a large, flat bowl, add the 8 eggs and whisk really well. Add the milk, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Whisk really well until the brown sugar is dissolved and all of the ingredients are well mixed.
  • To cook: melt 1 tbsp of unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Submerge a slice of bread into the batter and shake off excess. Add it to the skillet and repeat 2 more times (or however many slices your skillet can hold).
  • Cook the French toast about 2 minutes per side until golden brown. Flip and cook about another 2 minutes until golden brown. Remove to a plate or a casserole dish and cover with a clean, dry towel.
  • Add another tbsp of butter to the skillet and melt. Then dip more bread in the batter and repeat steps above. Batter should make about 15 slices. 
  • To serve: top with butter, confectioner’s sugar, maple syrup or berry chia jam. Enjoy!
