Ingredients

• 8 slices whole grain bread
• 4 large eggs
• 1.5 cups low-fat milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 cup fresh berries (optional, for serving)
• 0.5 cup pure maple syrup (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with the unsalted butter.

Step 3

Arrange the slices of whole grain bread in the prepared baking dish, overlapping slightly if necessary.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and honey until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread slices in the baking dish, ensuring all pieces are well-coated.

Step 6

Allow the mixture to sit for about 5-10 minutes so the bread can absorb the egg mixture.

Step 7

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.

Step 9

Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve with fresh berries and pure maple syrup if desired.
