Decadent French Toast

So I made some Cinnamon Raisin Swirl Bread  the other day, and then decided the perfect way to eat it for breakfast was french toast. I probably had this for breakfast three days in a row--it was so delicious. The key to this french toast is letting it soak for a few minutes before putting it in the pan. Also because the bread was homemade, the insides get so soft and gooey when you turn it into french toast. So yummy! 

This recipe makes enough for 2-3 toasts. You can cover the batter and put it in the fridge for up to a day if you want to save it for another toast. 

Decadent French Toast 

{ 2-3 slices of cinnamon raisin swirl bread / 1/2 Tablespoon butter / 1 egg / 1/4 cup whole milk /

1 Tablespoon sugar / 1 teaspoon vanilla / pinch of freshly grated nutmeg / pinch of salt }

Beat the egg in a pie plate or some other wide dish. Add the milk, sugar, vanilla, nutmeg, and salt to the egg and mix it together. Put a piece of toast in the batter and let it soak for 3 minutes on one side, flip it, and let is soak for a minute more. While it is soaking on the other side, put the butter in a nonstick skillet and heat on medium high--wait until it melts and starts to bubble. Place the toast in the pan and cook it until is nice and golden brown on both sides--3-4 minutes on each side. Turn down the heat if needed. 

Top your french toast with berries, or powdered sugar, or maple syrup, or all three!
