A delightful twist on the classic French toast, enhanced with a touch of nutmeg and a hint of orange zest for a burst of flavor.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well beaten.
Ensure the eggs are fully mixed for a consistent coating.
Add the milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, orange zest, and sugar to the eggs, and whisk until combined.
Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the spices and flavors.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter to coat the surface.
Use just enough butter to prevent sticking without making the toast greasy.
Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated, then place it onto the skillet.
Dip the bread quickly to avoid it becoming too soggy.
Cook each slice for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning while achieving a golden crust.
Serve the French toast warm with your choice of toppings such as syrup, fresh fruit, or powdered sugar.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
