Ingredients

Butter for greasing pan
4 eggs
¼ cup milk of choice
1 ½ tablespoon dark brown sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
8 stale bread slices challah, brioche, or white bread
Maple syrup for serving
Berries for serving

Instructions

Preheat griddle or nonstick skillet on medium heat, and grease lightly with butter.
In a large bowl, beat together eggs, milk, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg until smooth.
Dip the bread slices into the batter, letting them soak well on both sides.
Transfer the dredged slices to the lightly greased griddle or pan, and cook for 3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
Serve hot with maple syrup and berries, if desired.

Notes

Storage: French toast is best enjoyed immediately. But if you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container for up to two days.

Freezing Instructions: Allow the french toast to cool completely, wrap tightly in a freezer-friendly wrapping, and freeze for up to four months. Re-heat in the microwave or toaster oven.
