INGREDIENTS
- 3 eggs
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- Butter, for greasing
- 6 slices white bread
- Honey, for drizzling
- Fresh berries (optional), for serving
METHOD
1. In a bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until creamy and pale in colour.
2. Whisk in the milk, vanilla essence, cinnamon and nutmeg.
3. Lightly grease a frying pan with butter and place on medium heat.
4. Dip a slice of bread into the egg mixture for about 2-3 seconds on each side.
5. Fry the bread for 2-3 minutes per side, until crispy and the egg is cooked.
6. Set aside on a plate and repeat until the egg mixture is finished, adding more butter for each slice of bread.
7. Serve hot, drizzled with honey and topped with berries.
Tip!
To make the dipping and coating easier, transfer the egg mixture to a shallow bowl that’s big enough to fit a slice of bread in it
“This is such a nostalgic recipe… When we were growing up, my sisters and I loved making French toast on weekends. I recently started adding a little nutmeg to the recipe and, boy, does it bring out a totally new flavour! Top it off with a squeeze of honey and fresh fruit and you’re on your way to heaven,” says Neo.
