Preparing your French toast

1. Crack your eggs and drop them into a large mixing bowl, then add milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk until the ingredients are well incorporated.
2. Heat the butter on a griddle, frying pan, or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until melted.
3. Once the butter has melted, and the batter is ready, dip your slices of sourdough bread into the egg mixture, one at a time until well-coated. Make sure you don’t soak your bread in the egg mixture for long, as you may risk tearing the soaked bread before it reaches the pan!

Cooking the French toast

1. Place the egg-soaked bread slices onto a hot skillet, then add the remaining bread slices. If you’re using a frying pan, you may have enough room to make 2 French toasts at a time.
2. Fry each side of the bread for 3-5 minutes until they’re nice and crisp on the outside. Then flip your bread and pan-fry the other side until nice and golden brown. You can add more butter to the pan if needed.
3. Once your slices of bread are cooked, serve warm with a glob of butter, and some fresh berries followed by a generous drizzle of maple syrup.
