Ingredients
  

  • 1 loaf of french baguette or challah bread
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar or 1/3 cup sugar if you are not going to brulee these and just make them plain, use 1/3 cup
  • 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • super fine sugar
  • powdered sugar for dusting
  • strawberries

Instructions
 

  • Whisk together (in a much larger bowl than I used, I made a mess!) the eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla.
  • Slice your bread on bias. It looks prettier that way.
  • Quickly dip each side of the bread into the custard mixture.
  • Add the french toast to a pan on medium-high heat that has been coated with butter. Cook on each side until brown, about 2 minutes or so. If you are making a lot of french toast, you can put the pieces on a baking sheet and keep them warm in a 300 degree oven.
  • Sprinkle the tops of the french toast with the super fine sugar (if you do not have super fine sugar, give regular sugar a whirl in the food processor). Remember the vanilla sugar that I made awhile back? Here is a perfect use for it.
  • Use a kitchen torch to melt the sugar on the french toast.
