Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
Step 2
Pour the egg mixture into a shallow dish or large baking dish that will fit the bread slices easily.
Step 3
Preheat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Step 4
Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet and let it melt, coating the surface evenly.
Step 5
Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for 10-15 seconds on each side. Be careful not to oversoak to avoid soggy bread.
Step 6
Place the soaked bread slices onto the preheated skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
Repeat with the remaining bread slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed for each batch.
Step 8
Transfer the cooked French toast to a serving platter or plates. Serve immediately with maple syrup, powdered sugar, and fresh fruit, if desired.
