Equipment

1 large skillet
1 large mixing bowl

Ingredients

12-14 slices Italian bread stale, cut into 3/4 -1 inch thick slices.
2 tablespoons butter melted in the pan, use more as needed
2-3 large eggs depending on size
1 cup 2% milk or whole milk
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions

Combine the Wet Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, milk, light brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well combined.

Pan Fry the Toast

Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the butter and make sure the entire pan is coated.
Quickly dip one piece of the stale bread into the egg mixture. Make sure both sides are coated, and immediately add it to the hot buttered pan. Sear until the toast is golden brown on both sides. About 1-2 minutes per side. Repeat for all the toast. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Best enjoyed immediately. Option to store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for three to four days. Reheat in the microwave until warmed through.

Option to freeze leftovers as well. Store in an airtight sealable bag with parchment between each pieces of French toast to prevent sticking.
