Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon neutral oil
- 4 large eggs
- 4 large egg yolks
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 and 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 and 1/2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup (113ml) milk
- 1/2 cup (113ml) heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon (14ml) vanilla extract
- 10 slices stale bread sliced about 3/4-inch thick
Instructions
- Melt a few tablespoons of butter and 1 teaspoon of neutral oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- In a large shallow bowl, whisk the eggs and egg yolks until well combined. Add cinnamon, nutmeg, and both sugars; whisk until mixed. Finally, whisk in milk, heavy cream, and vanilla.
- Dip slices of bread into the egg mixture, allowing each side to soak for about 2 minutes.
- Place the soaked bread in the skillet and cook until the undersides are golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is equally golden brown, about another 3 to 4 minutes. Repeat with the remaining bread, adding more butter as needed.
- Serve warm with maple syrup and fresh berries.
Notes
Choosing stale bread helps to absorb the egg mixture better.
Feel free to add toppings like whipped cream or fresh fruits for extra flavor.
Adjust spices to your preference for an enriched taste.
