Ingredients

  • 6 Brioche Bread Slices
  • 2 Large Eggs

  • ¼ Teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  • Take 2 tablespoon of the butter and melt to liquid in the microwave.

  • Add the melted butter and mix again.
  • In another bowl take the flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt and mix throroughly.
  • Pour into the dry ingredients and mix again until a consistent batter has formed with no lumps.
  • Take a skillet and melt the remaining butter, steady on a medium heat.
  • Take each piece of bread and soak both sides (turning half way) for about 30 seconds.
  • Cook on the skillet until golden brown, remove promptly onto a baking sheet.
  • Serve immediately with your choice of toppings.

Notes

Nutmeg and cinnamon is optional, but they do add definite depth to the flavor!
Brioche is definitely my go-to bread for this as it is nice and thick (and sweet!) - but Texas toast would work too - or any thicker sliced bread!
A stale bread works best too.
Serve with fresh fruit, syrup, butter and powdered sugar.
