Equipment

  • 12-inch nonstick pan
  • wire rack
  • baking sheet
  • toaster
  • large shallow bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 8 slices white bread ⅔ to ¾" thick
  • 1 cup milk (240 ml)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar or granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (5 ml)
  • ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt (1 g)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (30 g)
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar (24 g)
  • 1 cup pure maple syrup (240 ml)

Instructions
 

  • If using soft, fresh bread, set the oven rack to the middle position and preheat to 300ºF (149ºC). Place the slices on a wire rack set on a baking sheet. Warm the bread until dry to the touch but not browned, about 10 to 14 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • In a large shallow bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, egg yolks, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  • Soak the bread for 15 to 20 seconds on each side. Use a spatula to transfer to a separate baking sheet. Whisk the custard as needed in between batches to keep the ingredients mixed.
  • Heat a 12-inch nonstick pan or cast iron skillet over medium-low heat. Melt ½ tablespoon of butter until it bubbles. Add two pieces of bread at a time. Cook until the first side is golden brown and lightly crisp, about 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Right before serving, sprinkle powdered sugar on top. Serve with maple syrup or desired toppings.

Notes

Serving Size: 1 bread slice. Additional drying is only needed when using soft, fresh bread. Toast each bread slice on the lowest setting. If making a large batch, place the fried pieces inside a 200ºF (93ºC) oven while preparing the remaining slices. Refrigerate for up to 3 days. Freeze slices in a single layer in a plastic bag or container for up to 3 months. Use the lowest setting in the toaster oven until hot. Alternatively, warm on a sheet pan in a 350ºF (177ºC) oven.
