– 4 eggs – 1 cup milk – 2 tablespoon sugar – 2 teaspoon vanilla – ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional) – ½ teaspoon orange zest (optional) – ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 8 slices Texas toast or 1/2-inch slices country Italian bread or rich egg bread (challah or brioche) – 2 tablespoon butter – Maple-flavor syrup
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the first seven ingredients, including sugar, vanilla, and optional spices like cinnamon, orange zest, and nutmeg.
Dip slices of Texas toast or country Italian bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
In a skillet or on a griddle over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
Cook half of the bread slices for 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden. Remove from the skillet and repeat with the remaining butter and bread slices.
Serve the French toast warm and, if desired, accompany it with maple-flavored syrup for an extra touch of sweetness.
