Ingredients
- 3 large Nellie’s Free Range Eggs
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp allspice
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp molasses
- 2 tbsp Nellie’s Free Range Unsalted Butter melted
- 1 cup milk
- 8 slices sandwich bread
- cooking oil spray
Instructions
-
Position rack in the upper third of an oven and preheat to 375 F.
-
Generously spray the bottom and sides of a nonstick baking sheet (18” X 13”) with cooking oil spray. Set aside.
-
In a bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, allspice, nutmeg, salt, vanilla extract, and molasses. Mix in butter and milk.
-
Pour the mixture into the sheet pan. Place the bread slices to soak up the liquid and then flip in the order of how you placed the bread.
-
Bake for 10 minutes. Flip the toasts. Bake for another 9 minutes until the top is nicely browned. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes.
-
Dust powdered sugar or drizzle maple syrup on top.
Recipe Notes
- Thick brioche or white bread works best for this recipe.
- If you don’t have molasses, you can substitute with honey or maple syrup.
- You can freeze leftover French Toasts! To reheat, air fry at 350°F for about 3 minutes. You can also bake in a single layer in a 375°F oven or air-fryer for 5~10 minutes until warm. Alternatively, microwave at 30 seconds intervals until hot.
