4 eggs
3/4 cup half & half (or milk)
cinnamon
nutmeg
vanilla
1 loaf French bread, sliced
Beat together eggs, milk, spices and vanilla. Pour some of the egg mixture into a shallow dish. Dip both sides of a slice of bread -- allow about 3 seconds on each side for the bread to soak up the egg mixture.
Cook on a 350-degree griddle until golden, flip and cook other side.
I like to top my French toast with mascarpone cheese and real maple syrup.
When I'm being extra, I cut a slit in the bottom of the bread slice and fill it with flavored cream cheese (like strawberry-banana) before cooking, and top with caramel sundae syrup.
