    Soft and fluffy with warm notes of cinnamon and nutmeg, you will love making this cinnamon french toast recipe any morning of the week! It’s even delicious for breakfast for dinner, which my kids always love!

    Growing up my mom always made a special breakfast for Saturday mornings. It was such a treat to wake up to the smells of pancakes & eggs or sausage & biscuits or french toast on the weekends.

    And I’ve carried the tradition on into my family! When we’re home on a Saturday morning, it’s big breakfast time. And we love making one of our family’s scrumptious favorite recipes.

    Nutmeg & Cinnamon French Toast Recipe

    So, on Saturday, I pulled out the recipe book my mom gave me and made her yummy cinnamon and nutmeg french toast. The the warm notes of nutmeg, vanilla and cinnamon just remind me of home. So delicious!

    I love using soft 12-grain bread (Arnold’s brand) for my toast, but you can use any kind that you love. I’ve heard texas toast makes a yummy option!

    Grab a shallow dish (like a 9×9 baking dish or pie plate) and mix all of the ingredients, minus the bread, butter, maple syrup & powdered sugar. We’ll use those items in a minute! Use a whisk to whip it all up in the dish.

    Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

    While the butter is melting, dip the bread in the liquid mixture for just a couple seconds and then flip it over for another few seconds. If you leave it in there too long it will absorb all of the liquid and you won’t have any left for the rest of your bread!

    This french toast is especially good when you make it in a cast iron skillet. I have this skillet, which isn’t expensive at all and worth it for the yummy taste of cooking on cast iron.

    Place as many slices of bread that have been dipped into the egg mixture and will fit into the pan. Allow them to cook on each side for a few minutes, until golden brown on the bottom.

    Serve with real maple syrup and a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

      I made this for dinner tonight. I had leftover Irish Soda Bread which is a little bit heartier of a bread with raisins in it. It was so delicious. I made bacon from the butcher shop. Terrific dinner for a Friday night in quarantine.

      I had today off from work and needed something to cook for me and my husband for lunch. Came across this recipe and decided to try it out. I didn’t have milk so just used more eggs and of course a little more cinnamon and nutmeg (I have an unhealthy obsession with cinnamon and nutmeg) and it tasted AMAZING! This will be my go to recipe from now on!

        Good to know it worked without milk! I have thought about putting more eggs in mine to give it some more protein. I think I’ll try it next time!!
