Description
A delightful twist on a breakfast classic, this French Toast Eggs recipe features thick slices of bread soaked in a rich egg mixture and cooked to golden perfection. It’s a simple yet satisfying dish perfect for any morning.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 thick slices of bread (brioche, challah, or Texas toast recommended)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil for cooking
- Optional toppings: maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, whipped cream
Instructions
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined. This creates your egg wash for the French toast.
- Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Let it soak for about 30 seconds per side for best results.
- Heat the butter or oil in a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Carefully place the eggy bread slices onto the hot skillet.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings for a delicious French toast egg breakfast.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of vanilla extract to the egg mixture.
- Ensure your bread is slightly stale; it will absorb the egg mixture better without becoming too soggy.
- Don’t overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches if necessary.
