Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the egg mixture

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Dip the bread

    Take one slice of challah bread and dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated. Allow any excess mixture to drip back into the bowl.

  3. 3

    Preheat the skillet

    In a large skillet or griddle, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until bubbly and hot.

  4. 4

    Cook the French toast

    Place the dipped bread slice onto the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once cooked, serve the French toast warm, drizzled with maple syrup and dusted with powdered sugar, if desired.
