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
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.
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.
