Ingredients
Scale
French Toast Batter
- 2 Eggs
- ½ cup Milk
- ½ tsp Cinnamon
- ¼ tsp Ginger
- ¼ tsp Nutmeg
French Toast Base
- 1 Loaf Canyon Bakehouse Heritage White Bread
- ¼ cup Butter (for cooking)
Suggested Toppings
- Maple Syrup
- Mandolin-sliced Apples
- Pecans
- Cinnamon Granola
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg until well combined, creating a flavorful custard mixture.
- Preheat the Skillet: Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter to melt, ensuring a non-stick surface for frying the bread.
- Soak the Bread: Working one slice at a time, dip each slice of Canyon Bakehouse Heritage White Bread into the egg batter, coating both sides thoroughly but not soaking too long to avoid sogginess.
- Cook the French Toast: Place the coated bread slices onto the hot skillet. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, flipping when golden brown to ensure even cooking and a crisp surface.
- Assemble with Toppings: Arrange the cooked French toast slices onto serving plates. Top with mandolin-sliced apples, pecans, and cinnamon granola to add texture and sweetness.
- Serve: Drizzle generously with maple syrup and serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute milk with almond or other plant-based milk as desired.
- Be careful not to oversoak the bread, especially when using gluten-free bread to prevent falling apart.
- The suggested toppings can be customized: try adding fresh berries or yogurt for variation.
- Cooking on medium heat prevents burning while allowing the french toast to cook through properly.
- This recipe serves 4 to 6 people, depending on serving size.
