Ingredients

  • 8 slices Gluten-Free Bread (Challah or Brioche style recommended)
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/4 cup Heavy Cream
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • to taste Maple Syrup
  • to taste Powdered Sugar
  • to taste Fresh Berries (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Add butter to the skillet and allow it to melt completely.

  4. 4

    Dip each slice of gluten-free bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated. Let excess drip off before placing it in the skillet.

  5. 5

    Cook the French toast for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.

  6. 6

    Remove the cooked French toast from the skillet and place it on a serving plate.

  7. 7

    Repeat with remaining bread and egg mixture, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.

  8. 8

    Serve immediately with maple syrup, powdered sugar, and fresh berries (optional).

Tips & Notes

  • For best results, use slightly stale gluten-free bread. This helps it soak up the custard better without becoming soggy.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. Cook the French toast in batches to ensure even cooking.
  • If you prefer a richer flavor, use brioche-style gluten-free bread.

Recipe Variations

  • Try adding different herbs for variety.
  • Substitute ingredients based on dietary needs.
