Equipment
- 12-inch nonstick pan
- wire rack
- baking sheet
- toaster
- large shallow bowl
Ingredients
- 8 slices white bread ⅔ to ¾" thick
- 1 cup milk (240 ml)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar or granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (5 ml)
- ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt (1 g)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (30 g)
- ¼ cup powdered sugar (24 g)
- 1 cup pure maple syrup (240 ml)
Instructions
- Dry the Bread - If using soft, fresh bread, preheat to 300ºF (149ºC) and warm the bread until dry to the touch but not browned, about 10 to 14 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Make the Custard - In a large shallow bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, egg yolks, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- Dip the Bread - Soak the bread for 15 to 20 seconds on each side. Use a spatula to transfer to a separate baking sheet.
- Fry the Bread - Heat a nonstick pan over medium-low heat. Melt ½ tablespoon of butter, add two pieces of bread at a time, and cook until golden brown.
- To Serve - Sprinkle powdered sugar on top and serve with maple syrup or desired toppings.
Notes
If using dry bread, no additional drying is needed. Keep toast warm in a 200ºF (93ºC) oven while preparing the remaining slices. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat using the lowest toaster setting until hot.
