Honey Ginger French Toast

Everyone loves French toast, right? And there are a million ways to make it. After playing around, this is what I came up with.

• 4 thick slices of bread (I used my homemade honey wheat)
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup of milk
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground ginger
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 2 tsp honey
• 2 Tbsp butter
• 1/2 Tbsp powdered sugar
• maple syrup
• fresh fruit (optional)

1. Combine eggs, milk, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and honey in a shallow vessel (I just used a large tupperware dish) and whisk until well combined.
2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
3. Dredge the bread in the egg mixture 2 slices at a time, letting them soak for 30 seconds on each side.
4. Cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side, flipping only once, until the bread is a golden brown. Serve sprinkled with powdered sugar, drizzled with maple syrup and with some fresh fruit of your choice.

This recipe is perfect for two people, maybe three people. It could be doubled for a family. I like to slice the French toast diagonally for presentation. So easy and so yummy.
