Instructions

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

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

Place the slices of bread in the egg mixture and let soak on each side for about 3 seconds. Cook the bread in the skillet for ~4 minutes on each side or until a nice golden brown.

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

Notes

Storage Instruction – Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or toaster oven for best texture. You can also freeze slices for up to 2 months.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Bread Selection is Critical 🍞
Use day-old or slightly stale bread cut at least 1-inch thick; fresh bread absorbs too much custard and becomes soggy, while stale bread maintains structure for that perfect custardy center.
Soak Strategically ⏱️
Dip each bread slice for only 1-2 seconds per side in the egg mixture—over-soaking creates a soggy, mushy texture instead of the custardy interior you're after.
Toast Your Spices 🌶️
Lightly toast the cinnamon and nutmeg in a dry pan before adding to your custard mixture to deepen their flavors and eliminate any raw spice taste for a more sophisticated dish.
Butter Your Pan, Not Spray 🧈
Replace cooking spray with real butter for superior browning and flavor; butter creates the signature golden crust that cooking spray simply cannot achieve.
Rest Before Serving 🛑
Let cooked French toast rest on a warm plate for 2-3 minutes before serving to allow the custard center to set slightly while maintaining its creamy texture.
