Growing up my mom always made a special breakfast for Saturday mornings. It was always a wonderful way to get out of bed to the smells of pancakes & eggs or sausage & biscuits or french toast.
And I’ve carried the tradition on in my family. When we’re home on a Saturday morning, it’s big breakfast time.
So, on Saturday, I pulled out the recipe book my mom gave me and made her yummy cinnamon and nutmeg french toast. It just has a fourth a teaspoon of cinnamon and a dash of nutmeg, but the subtle two spices remind me of fall. So delicious!
- 1 egg
- ⅓ cup of milk
- 1 tsp. sugar or honey
- ¼ tsp. cinnamon or less
- ¼ tsp. vanilla
- A dash of nutmeg
- A dash of salt
- Butter for frying
- 5-6 slices of bread
- Mix first 7 ingredients with a whisk or fork until well beaten.
- Heat frying pan or griddle to medium heat.
- Put in a slice of butter, moving it around in the pan until it melts.
- When melted, dip slices of bread into the mixture and place on the frying pan for a couple of minutes.
- When brown on bottom, lift out, add another piece of butter, and brown in the other side.
- Serve with maple syrup and powdered sugar.

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!!
