Step 1. Heat and Oil Pan

Place the pan over medium-high heat. Add non-stick spray, olive oil, or butter to the pan so the bread won't stick…

Step 3. Whisk

|

Add in milk, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and cinnamon and beat the mixture with a fork or whisk.

Step 4. Dip Bread Slices

|

Coat a slice of the bread with the mixture on both sides. Dip the bread into the egg mixture until each side of the French toast is soaked and well-coated.

Step 5. Toast Each Slice of Bread

|

Place each slice onto the pan and cook the toast until golden on both sides. ( Approximately 45 seconds per side.)

Sprinkle sugar over the bread while it's in the pan before flipping it. This will create a crunchy layer of caramelized sugar–a French toast signature.

Step 6. Serve and Enjoy Your Homemade French Toast!

Put the French toast on a plate, then serve immediately with maple syrup or topped with berries or banana slices. You can also sprinkle powdered sugar on top.

Enjoy them with a cup of hot chocolate or coffee for a filling and satisfying breakfast. Enjoy!
