Ingredients:

- 8 slices of day-old bread (such as brioche, challah, or French bread)

- 4 large eggs

- 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)

- 1/4 cup granulated sugar

- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, for frying

- Optional toppings: maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, whipped cream

Instructions:

1. In a large, shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.

2. Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of butter and let it melt, coating the surface evenly.

3. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side. Be sure not to oversoak the bread, as it may become too soggy.

4. Place the soaked bread slices onto the preheated skillet or griddle, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 with the remaining bread slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.

6. Serve your French toast warm with your choice of toppings, such as maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
