Make the French toast

  • Make the custard mixture: Beat together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg until everything is evenly combined. Pour the mixture into a shallow dish large enough to dip the slices of bread in.
  • Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Once hot, add oil.
  • Dip the day old bread into the custard mixture. Let the excess drip off and place it on the heated pan.
