Gingerbread French Toast
I am a big fan of french toast and order it a lot when we eat out for breakfast. But french toast is a easy recipe to make at home and this Gingerbread French Toast is a favorite at our house.
I like making french toast because everyone likes it and it's a quick and easy breakfast. It's also a great way to use up partially stale bread or leftover bread, which works great for making french toast.
Don't throw out your leftover bread. Freeze it and when you have enough to use, you can make your favorite french toast. We do this all the time and it works great and you don't waste anything.
Gingerbread French Toast Ingredients
2 eggs
2 tbsp milk
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground ginger
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 pieces toast
Butter and molasses as toppings (+ extra butter for the pan)
How To Make Gingerbread French Toast
Whisk together eggs and milk. Add cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar and vanilla extract and whisk some more.
Heat a medium-sized non-stick pan on medium heat, with a 1 tsp of butter.
Dip one piece of toast in the egg mixture, one side at a time. Fry on the heated pan. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on both sides, or until brown.
Repeat for each piece of toast. Drizzle with molasses or syrup and top with a slab of butter. Enjoy!
Tips For Making French Toast
- Don't use fresh bread. The drier your bread, the better it will soak up the egg mixture.
- Don't use skim milk. Always choose whole-fat milk.
- Bring your ingredients to room temperature so it's easier to incorporate.
- Saturate your bread slices but don't get them really soggy.
- Preheat the skillet before adding the bread.
