Ingredients
  

For the French Toast
  • 1 loaf French bread (or Brioche for a richer taste) You can also use challah or any hearty bread.
  • 3 large eggs For a vegan option, replace with flaxseed meal mixed with water.
  • 1 cup milk (whole, skim, or plant-based) Substitute with almond, cashew, or oat milk for dairy-free.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Can be substituted with almond extract for a different flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Feel free to substitute with your favorite spice.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar You can use maple syrup instead for coating.
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (or coconut oil for vegan)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by slicing your French loaf into bite-sized cubes, about 1-inch pieces.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt until it’s well combined.
  3. Toss the bread cubes into the custard mix. Let them soak for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Cooking
  1. Combine sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a separate bowl.
  2. Heat a skillet and melt a tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
  3. Using a slotted spoon, transfer soaked bread cubes into the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  4. Once cooked, toss the warm bites in the cinnamon-sugar mixture while they’re still hot.
  5. Repeat until all bites are cooked and coated, then let cool slightly on a wire rack.
