Ingredients:
- 4 eggs
- 2/3 cup real maple syrup
- 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Fresh berries
- Confectioners’ sugar
Instructions:
-
Prepare Bread: Start by allowing your sliced bread to sit at room temperature for about 1 hour. This helps the surfaces dry out, ensuring a crispier French toast.
-
Prepare Egg Mixture: In a wide bowl, beat the eggs together with the maple syrup until the mixture is slightly thickened. Add in the milk, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.
-
Soak Bread Slices: Place the bread slices into the egg mixture, allowing them to soak for about 5 minutes. Ensure each slice is saturated well for maximum flavor.
-
Preheat Skillet: Meanwhile, preheat a skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and allow it to melt, ensuring the skillet is evenly coated.
-
Cook French Toast: Once the butter has melted, reduce the heat to medium-low. Carefully place the soaked bread slices onto the skillet, cooking for about 5-6 minutes per side. Flip each slice every 2 minutes to ensure even browning. You may need to cook in batches if your skillet is small.
-
Serve: Once the French toast is golden brown and cooked through, remove it from the skillet. Sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar for a touch of sweetness. Serve hot with a generous topping of fresh berries for a burst of fruity flavor.
