Ingredients
Scale
French Toast Batter
- 2 Eggs
- ½ cup Milk
- ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon Ginger
- ¼ teaspoon Nutmeg
Bread and Cooking
- 1 Loaf Canyon Bakehouse Heritage White Bread
- ¼ cup Butter
Suggested Toppings
- Maple Syrup
- Mandolin-sliced Apples
- Pecans
- Cinnamon Granola
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg until well combined to create a flavorful custard base for the French toast.
- Heat the Skillet: Place a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the surface.
- Dip the Bread: Working one slice at a time, dip each piece of Canyon Bakehouse Heritage White Bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides thoroughly to absorb the batter.
- Cook the French Toast: Add the coated bread slices to the hot skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and slightly crisp on the edges.
- Assemble and Serve: Arrange the cooked French toast on serving plates, then top with mandolin-sliced apples, pecans, and cinnamon granola as desired. Drizzle generously with maple syrup and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute regular milk with almond milk or another plant-based alternative.
- Use a mandoline slicer carefully when preparing apples to ensure thin, even slices.
- Adjust cooking heat as necessary to prevent burning and ensure the French toast cooks evenly.
- For added flavor, toast the pecans lightly before topping.
- Can be made gluten-free by using Canyon Bakehouse gluten-free bread as specified.
