A classic French toast recipe spiced with vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg dusted with powdered sugar and drizzled with maple syrup. Use French or Italian bread for best results. Recipe is easily doubled or tripled - which is good, because they'll be asking for more.

• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, or to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, or to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Slice the bread about one inch thick.

Break the egg into a bowl and add the spices to it. Beat the egg and spices until mixed well.

Heat a fry pan to medium heat, add the butter and let it melt. Adjust the heat so as not to burn the butter.

Dip each slice of bread into the egg and spice mixture coating both sides, so the bread just begins to soak up the egg mixture. Drain the excess egg off the bread back into the bowl.

Place in fry pan and brown lightly on both sides.

Place on a plate and sprinkle with powder sugar, drizzle with syrup and serve.
