Ingredients
  • 8 slices sourdough bread
  • 4 eggs
  • 4 tbsp milk
  • 4 tbsp orange juice
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 tbsp whipped butter
  • Syrup fruit, & other toppings
Instructions
  1. In a casserole dish large enough to fit 3-4 slices of bread, whisk together the 4 eggs, milk, orange juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. (Alternatively, you can whisk this all together in a large bowl & then pour into the casserole dish).
  2. Add as many slices of sourdough bread as you can fit without stacking. Let the sourdough bread soak about 2-3 minutes, and then flip to the other side and repeat.
  3. If your bread is particularly hearty and stiff, you might need to let it soak an additional minute per side to really make sure the bread is absorbing the egg mixture like a sponge.
  4. When the French toast is done soaking, heat a griddle pan that crosses over two burners on low-medium heat. Drop two tbsp of the butter onto the griddle and melt all over the pan evenly.
  5. Now, take the French toast slices out of the pan, letting the excess custard drip back into the dish. Then add it to the griddle. Repeat with the rest of the slices, and then add your remaining bread to the casserole dish to soak.
  6. Cook each French toast slice for 2-3 minutes per side before flipping. The French toast should be golden brown.
  7. Keep the first batch of slices warm on a plate covered with foil while you wait for the second batch.
  8. You could serve French Toast with butter and syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, chocolate spread, peanut butter, or anything else you might like!
Recipe Notes

• If you don’t have a griddle pan, you can use a large skillet.
