Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg , freshly grated
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar or granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter , melted and cooled
- 1 cup half and half or whole milk
- 8 to 12 slices bread , preferably stale or day-old bread such as brioche or slices white bread
Instructions
- Adjust 1 oven rack to the middle position, 5 to 6 inches from the broiler. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Generously sprays a 13'' x 18''x 1'' sheet pan with baking spray; set aside.Whisk the eggs, half-and-half, vanilla, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, melted butter and kosher salt together in a medium bowl until combined. Soak each bread for about 30 seconds, then flip it over to coat the other side, turning once.
- Arrange the bread slices on the prepared baking sheet (2 rows of 4 slices lengthwise or 3 rows of 4 slices lengthwise). Alternatively, you can pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking sheet. Next, place bread slices on a baking sheet. Then, working quickly, flip each slice in the same order you placed them on the baking sheet. Let bread sit until slices absorb the custard, about 1 minute.
- Bake the French toast until the French toast is puffed and beginning to brown, 14 to 15 minutes. Check the toast every 30 seconds, so it doesn't get too dark! Use oven mitts to transfer baking sheet to upper rack and heat broiler. Broil until the tops of slices are golden brown, about 1 minute; watch carefully to prevent burning!
- Serve the toast with a sprinkle of confectioners' sugar and a drizzle of syrup and fruit preserve on the side.
Notes
