Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 Eggs
  • ½ Cup Milk
  • ½ tsp Cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp Ginger
  • ¼ tsp Nutmeg
  • 1 Loaf Canyon Bakehouse Heritage White Bread
  • ¼ Cup Butter

Suggested Toppings

  • Maple Syrup
  • Mandolin-sliced Apples
  • Pecans
  • Cinnamon Granola

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg until fully combined and smooth.
  2. Heat the skillet: Place a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the surface evenly.
  3. Dip the bread: Working one slice at a time, fully coat each slice of Canyon Bakehouse Heritage White Bread with the egg batter on both sides, allowing excess to drip off.
  4. Cook the French toast: Add the coated bread slices to the preheated skillet and cook for 1 to 2 minutes on the first side until golden brown. Flip the slices carefully and cook the other side for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  5. Assemble and serve: Arrange the cooked French toast slices on serving plates. Top with mandolin-sliced apples, pecans, and cinnamon granola as desired. Serve immediately with warm maple syrup drizzled over the top.

Notes

  • Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned griddle for best results and easier flipping.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or other plant-based milk as suggested in the recipe.
  • Adjust spices to taste or omit any you do not prefer.
  • Use day-old or slightly stale bread for better absorption and texture.
  • To keep cooked French toast warm, place in a 200°F oven while finishing the rest.
