Instructions

In a large shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk. Add in the cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk lightly until fully combined.

Over medium heat, spray a large skillet with cooking spray.

Place the slices of bread in the egg mixture and let soak on each side for a good few seconds. Sprinkle a little more cinnamon into the egg mixture as needed (I find that a lot of my cinnamon gets stuck on the edges of the pan).

Cook the bread in the skillet for ~4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

Once done, top with syrup, fruit, and a dusting of powdered sugar and ENJOY!!

Notes

Storage + Reheating – Store leftover French toast in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the toaster or oven at 350°F for 5–10 minutes for the best texture — the microwave works in a pinch but won’t give you that crisp edges. To freeze, let slices cool completely, wrap individually in plastic wrap or separate with parchment, and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Reheat straight from frozen in the toaster or oven.

Bread– Use day-old or slightly stale bread for best results — fresh bread gets soggy.

Milk – Any milk works here, including oat milk for a dairy-free version.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Choose Day-Old Bread for Structure 🍞
Use bread that's 1-2 days old rather than fresh—it has less moisture and won't become soggy when soaked in the custard mixture, resulting in crispy exteriors and creamy centers.
Soak Strategically, Don't Oversaturate 💧
Dip each bread slice for only 1-2 seconds per side in the egg mixture—quick coating prevents the bread from becoming waterlogged while ensuring enough custard adheres for that signature custardy interior.
Bloom Your Spices in Warm Milk ✨
Warm the milk slightly before whisking in the cinnamon and nutmeg to release their essential oils and create a more aromatic, deeply flavored custard mixture.
Master the Medium Heat Sweet Spot 🔥
Cook on medium (not medium-high) to allow the custard to set gently without burning the outside—aim for 3-4 minutes per side for golden-brown toast with a perfectly cooked center.
Finish with Cinnamon Sugar Immediately 🎯
Dust the hot toast with a cinnamon-sugar mixture right off the pan while the surface is still sticky—this creates a caramelized crust that adds texture and intensifies the cinnamon flavor.
