Ingredients
- 1 loaf French bread or challah
- 3 eggs
- 1 ½ cups half-and-half or whole milk
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon butter , plus more for serving
- 1 tablespoon canola oil or vegetable oil
- maple syrup , for serving
Instructions
- Slice the French bread or challah in 1-inch thick slices. Save the rest of the loaf for another use.
- Whisk the eggs with the half-and-half or whole milk in a large bowl or baking dish. Whisk in the powdered sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and kosher salt until smooth. Set aside.
- Melt the butter and oil in a large non-stick skillet between medium and medium-high heat or set an electric frying pan to 350°F. Dip 4 bread slices in the egg mixture, coating both sides well. Soak the bread for 3-5 minutes up to 15 minutes. Let the excess egg drip from the bread before adding to the skillet in an even layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until golden, then flip and cook for 3-4 more minutes. Transfer to a serving platter. Add more oil or butter to the skillet if needed and repeat with the rest of the bread slices.
- Serve the French toast slices hot topped with butter and drizzled with maple syrup.
