How to Make French Toast
This French Toast recipe uses eggs, milk, dark brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg to create a rich custard batter that soaks into stale challah, brioche, or white bread slices. Cooking on a greased griddle until golden brown yields warm, tender slices with a lightly sweet and spiced flavor. Maple syrup and berries provide classic serving accompaniments.
