Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 1.5 cup half-and-half or milk
  • 0.5 tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • salt (A pinch)
  • 0.5 tbsp butter (For cooking the French toast; add more as needed)
  • 6 thick slices white bread, challah, or brioche
  • 4 tbsp butter (For browning and drizzling)
  • maple syrup (For drizzling)

Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350°F.

  2. 2

    Whisk the eggs, half-and-half or milk, nutmeg, vanilla extract, sugar, and a pinch of salt together in a shallow bowl until combined.

  3. 3

    Heat 1/2 tablespoon butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.

  4. 4

    Working in batches, dip the thick bread slices into the egg mixture, coating them thoroughly.

    Cook the soaked bread in the skillet until golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Add more butter to the skillet as needed while cooking the batches.

  6. 6

    Transfer the skillet-cooked French toast to a baking sheet.

  7. 7

    Bake until the French toast is puffed, 8 to 10 minutes.

    Meanwhile, melt 4 tablespoons butter in the same skillet until browned, about 5 minutes.

  9. 9

    Drizzle the French toast with the browned butter and maple syrup, then serve.

The source does not specify the amount of additional butter needed while cooking or the amount of maple syrup; add both as needed for cooking and serving.
