Christmas Toast
Instructions:
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 3 tbsp. sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 4 tsp. nutmeg
- 8 slices French bread, sliced thick
- 3 tbsp. melted butter
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- To prepare toast: whisk eggs with milk, sugar, vanilla, and nutmeg.
- Dip bread into mixture, coating both sides, allowing bread to soak up mixture.
- Place bread in single layer on baking sheets brushed with butter to prevent sticking.
- Bake for 12 minutes, turn, bake for 12 minutes or until brown and puffy.
- Serve with icing sugar “snow†dusted over the toast, mint leaves, and a dollop of red currant jam to resemble Christmas holly.
- For a tasty alternative for the bread base, use croissants sliced in half, soaked in egg mixture and baked.
