Classic French Toast
Classic French Toast is made by dipping thick slices of bread in a spiced custard of eggs, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and sugar, then pan-frying until each side forms a golden-brown crust. The result is a soft, custardy interior and a lightly crisped exterior. This breakfast staple offers warm, comforting flavors with a balance of sweetness and spice from the cinnamon and nutmeg.
