A cozy and easy-to-make French toast recipe featuring warm cinnamon and nutmeg spices, perfect for a comforting breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 slices thick-cut white or brioche bread (day-old preferred)
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk or 2% milk
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • A pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter for cooking
  • Maple syrup or honey for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs and 1 cup (240 ml) milk until fully combined.
  2. Add 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, a pinch of salt, and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract. Whisk again until smooth and fragrant (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Pour the custard into a shallow dish. Dip each slice of bread into the custard, soaking about 20-30 seconds per side without letting it become soggy. Place soaked slices on a plate.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat. Add about 1 tablespoon unsalted butter and let it melt, coating the pan evenly.
  5. Place soaked bread slices into the hot pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and slightly crisp at the edges. Add more butter between batches if needed.
  6. Place cooked French toast on a wire rack over a baking sheet or warm plate to keep crispy. Keep warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven if cooking in batches.
  7. Serve immediately with maple syrup or honey and optional fresh fruit or powdered sugar.

Notes

Use day-old bread for best soaking results. Avoid soaking bread too long to prevent sogginess. Keep cooked toast warm in a low oven to maintain crispness. Butter adds flavor and crisp edges; adjust heat to avoid burning.
