Ingredients
  

  • 5 Egg
  • 4 cups Milk At least 2%, but preferably whole
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 8 slices Texas Toast
  • Butter For the griddle
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • 1/3 cup Pure Maple Syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • pinch of Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Bourbon
  • Powdered Sugar

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.
  • Heat the griddle to 375°F or 400°F. Butter the hot surface.
  • Dip each piece of Texas toast in the egg mixture. Let it coat both sides. You may want to lift the bread from the batter with a spatula -- it can prevent the soaked bread from tearing.
  • Gently place each slice on the hot griddle. Cook the first side for 4-5 minutes. Flip and then cook the second side for 3-4 minutes.
  • To make the syrup, melt the 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Pour in the syrup and let it cook for 3-4 minutes, until the syrup is warmed all the way through. Remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla, salt, and bourbon.
  • Serve the French toast warm topped with the syrup. Garnish with powdered sugar.
