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

- Prepare the batter: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg until fully combined and smooth.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
