Instructions
For the French Toast
- Cut bread of choice into thick slices. Bread needs to be dry so either leave the bread overnight uncovered on a baking sheet, or preheat oven to 250°F and toast for 20 minutes, flipping halfway.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Then whisk in the milk, vanilla extract, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg until combined and no streaks of egg remain.
- Drop a piece of the thickly sliced bread into the custard and let sit for 20-30 seconds on each side. Repeat with remaining bread slices.
- Melt 2 Tbsp. butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the soaked pieces of bread to the pan and cook 3-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Don’t overcrowd the pan. You will need to work in batches, adding more butter to pan as needed.
- Place the French toast onto a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet and place in the oven at 250°F while you cook the remaining French toast.
For the Breakfast Board
- Select the board you want to build on: this can be a large wood cutting board, a rectangular slate board or a large marble board.
- Gather small bowls, appetizer forks, spreaders, spoons, etc. for serving
- Wash and slice fruit(s) being used and gently pat dry.
- Assemble the board. Remove theFrench toast from the oven and arrange down the middle of the board. Place bacon, fruits, syrups, etc. all around the French toast. It’s a blank canvas, let your creativity flow!
- Serve immediately and replenish the board as necessary.
