Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 4 slices sourdough bread (or bread of choice)
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Toppings: powdered sugar, fresh berries and maple syrup

Instructions

  • Add the eggs, milk, spices and brown sugar to a large shallow bowl and whisk together so that everything is well combined.
  • Place the bread slices and let soak on each side in the mix for 3 to 5 minutes if using sourdough, less time if using brioche.
  • While the bread is soaking, heat the oil and butter in a skillet on a medium heat.
  • Once hot and the bread is soaked, let excess custard drip from the bread and place two slices into the skillet (one slice if your skillet is small).
  • Cook on both sides for around 3 to 4 minutes, flip over during cooking to make sure it's browning and not burning.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • This recipe used a dense bread like sourdough or challah. If you use a softer bread like brioche, you won't need to soak it for as long.
  • Don't have the skillet on too high a heat or you will burn the bread. It should be at a medium temperature so that the middles cook through.
  • Don't press down and flatten the bread with a spatula while it is cooking.
  • Don't over crowd the skillet when you cook the toast, give it some room and cook a slice or two at a time.
