French Toast

French toast origins are not entirely clear, but long before this awesomeness was called "French toast," similar recipes were being whipped up worldwide with alternative names and variants. Like Spanish toast, Nun's toast, Eggy bread, Poor Knights of Windsor. Some even called it Lost bread, possibly because it uses stale and otherwise wasted slices to make a delicious dish. Here is my variation of this deliciousness. Enjoy!

The Best French Toast! Fluffy and tender on the inside, gloriously browned on the outside.

Ingredients

6 large eggs
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1 loaf of homemade bread or french bread
vegetable oil to fry

Directions

1In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, whipping cream, cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar, and salt. Whisk the mixture until well blended. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

2Dip 4 to 5 bread slices, one at a time into the egg mixture. Shake off the excess egg mixture from the bread, and place the bread slices onto the hot skillet. Do that till you use up all the bread. You might have few slices left.

3Serve hot with syrup you like, jam, fresh berries, and fruit.
