French Toast

Ingredients

• 0.5t ground nutmeg
• 0.25t ground allspice
• 1.0t ground cinnamon -or- ground ginger
• 1.0t simple syrup
• 0.5t vanilla extract
• 0.125t salt
• 1.0oz orange juice
• 2 eggs
• 0.125c heavy cream
• 0.125c oat milk -or- cow milk
• four 0.5“ slices challah bread (adjust whole recipe according to scale of bread here)
• maple syrup
• 4T butter

Note - sometimes I want the ginger version, sometimes the cinnamon version, that’s why the option above.

Procedure

• Using an immersion blender, mix nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, simple syrup, vanilla extract, salt, eggs, and heavy cream until smooth.
• Place four slices of challah in a 9x9 baking pan
• Pour the batter mix on top of the challah, ensuring each piece is coated top and bottom.
• Allow bread slices to sit in the batter mix, covered, for at least 15 minutes.
• Heat butter in a 15“ pan, to a surface temperature of 350-365F.
• Fry slices in butter, until crisp on both sides. Ensure the temperature of the pan doesn’t drop below 350F as you cook.

Review

Hey, we have readers, and they have good ideas! From Zach DeCook,

I made your french toast recipe from gemini, but doubled it and made some substitutions: using vanilla yogurt for the cream and maple syrup for simple syrup. Also I used basic white bread, which is much thinner than the bread called for. It took 7 slices of bread.

It was pretty good, but was quite a bit heavy on the allspice and/or nutmeg.

Anyway, that’s all I have for feedback. Thanks for the great content!
