French Toast

• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground allspice
• 1 pinch of salt (about 1/8 tsp)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 6 thick slices of French bread, or other bread (Babka slices, cinnamon bread, blueberry bread slices)
• 1 tbsp butter for frying
• Butter, maple syrup and powdered sugar for serving

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Combine the milk, eggs, allspice, cinnamon, salt, and vanilla in a large bowl and whisk well. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Dip the bread slices into the egg mixture and soak them on both sides until all the liquid is absorbed.

3. 3

   Melt the butter in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Cook the soaked bread slices, 3 at a time, on each side until golden brown (about 3 minutes per side).

4. 4

   Transfer the slices to the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes until crisp and cooked through. Serve with butter, maple syrup, and powdered sugar.
