• 2 large eggs • 1 tablespoon white sugar or brown sugar • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter • 4 slices of white bread (or substitute with whole wheat or gluten-free bread)
• Wide mixing bowl • Skillet • Whisk or fork • Spatula • Measuring spoons • Plate for serving • Tongs (optional for flipping bread) • Butter knife (for spreading butter)
Step 1: Gather the ingredients: 2 large eggs, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, and 4 slices of white bread. Step 2: Beat the 2 large eggs in a wide mixing bowl. Step 3: Mix in 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg into the eggs. Step 4: Melt 1 tablespoon unsalted butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Step 5: Dip 2 slices of white bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are covered. Step 6: Place the dipped bread in the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Step 7: Repeat steps 5 and 6 with the remaining 2 slices of bread. Step 8: Serve the French toast warm. Step 9: Enjoy your delicious French toast! Step 10: This is the last step.
- Make sure to beat the eggs well before adding the sugar and spices to get a nice, smooth mixture. - Keep the skillet on medium-low heat to avoid burning the toast while ensuring it cooks through. - If the spices settle, just give the mixture a quick stir before dipping the last slices of bread.
