- Serves:

2-3
ingredients
- 4 slices bakery white bread, sliced to 1 inch thickness
- 2 large eggs
- 1⁄8 cup real maple syrup
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1⁄8 teaspoon fresh-grated nutmeg
- 1 pinch salt
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, for cooking
- fresh berries, for serving
- confectioners' sugar, for dusting
directions
- First allow your sliced bread to sit at room temperature for approximately 1 hour to allow the surfaces to dry out.
- In a wide bowl, beat your eggs with your maple syrup until the mixture is slightly thickened.
- Beat in the milk, vanilla, nutmeg and salt.
- Place your bread slices in the mixture and allow them to soak in the mixture for approximately 5 minutes until saturated well.
- Next you will want to preheat your skillet over medium heat and add 2 Tablespoons of butter.
- Once your butter has melted reduce your heat to medium-low and saute bread slices for about 5-6 minutes per side, making sure that you flip each slice over every 2 minutes or so to make sure that they brown evenly.
- You may have to cook in 2 batches if you use a smaller skillet.
- Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, and place random berries around the plate for a nice look and tasty meal.

This is wonderful! I used French Bread cut into 0.5" slices, so it did not need soaking for a long time .. I also added a little sugar because my husband likes his french toast sweet .. thanks for sharing this recipe, I will make it again! -
Yum! This made a lovely brunch recipe. My 3 year old is now you best friend LOL. Nice and easy and tasty too! -
This was SO FANTASTIC !!! Absolutely delicious, simple to make, and better than any French Toast I've ever had !! I used Challah bread from the bakery that was shaped like regular bread (not the typical braided shape)--I followed your recipe to the letter, and was completely thrilled with my breakfast!! I dusted the top with powdered sugar as recommended, and was delighted with the subtle maple syrup flavor, and the nutmeg added the perfect *something special* that makes this recipe an absolute winner!! No additional syrup was needed, as the egg mixture has a perfectly balanced flavored--I can't tell you how happy I am that I picked your recipe to try this morning! Thank you SO MUCH !!! I'll be making this many times in the future...this is a real 5 star keeper!! Thank you!! Teresa

Since April 2008, I have been a vegetarian. I dont eat creatures...that's the easiest way to put it! :D
I still eat a small amount of dairy, but not very much.
I have been missing around here for a while, and hope to poke my head in a bit more often from now on...
I hope you enjoy my recipes...
