What a happy accident! Take one recipe of any fresh baked bread, soak for 20 minutes in French Toast batter and voila - you have a show-stopping breakfast or dinner. Note: ingredient amounts vary according to taste.
French Toast Batter:
3 - 4 eggs, beaten
1/2 - 1 cup whole milk, evaporated milk, cream, or heavy cream. Evaporated milk is the best in my opinion.
Generous dash of nutmeg
Generous dash of cinnamon (slightly more than the nutmeg)
Small pinch of ground cloves (optional)
1/2 to 1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 stick of butter for skillet + more for topping the French Toast
powdered sugar for dusting
Whisk together all ingredients. Soak thick slices of fresh or day old bread in mixture for 20-minutes or as long as it takes the batter to soak through the slices.
Preheat over to 175-degrees. Put oven-safe plates in oven to warm them.
Meanwhile, melt butter in skillet at medium-high temperature. When butter foams and just begins to brown, add 1-2 slices of battered bread. If it doesn't sizzle in the pan it isn't ready to cook. Cook each side 2-3 minutes or until cooked through and nicely browned.
Serve with butter, maple syrup, and powdered sugar. Top with sliced bananas for something truly decadent.
