Material
1 baguette or salad bread
3 eggs
1/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons sugar or 1/3 cup sugar (use 1/3 cup if you’re not going to bake bread and just make regular).
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons butter
superfine sugar
powdered sugar for dusting
strawberry
illustrate
Whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla (in a bowl much bigger than mine, I made a mess!).
Cut your loaf beveled. It looks prettier this way.
Quickly dip each side of the bread into the custard mixture.
Place French toast in a buttered pan over medium-high heat. Cook until browned on each side, about 2 minutes or so. If you’re making a lot of French toast, you can place the slices on a baking sheet and keep them warm in a 300-degree oven.
Sprinkle the top of the French toast with superfine sugar (if you don’t have superfine sugar, beat regular sugar in a food processor). Remember the vanilla sugar I made some time ago? Here is a perfect use for it.
Use a kitchen torch to melt the sugar on the French toast.
