If you are like me, your idea of french toast is sprinkling a little cinnamon in the egg wash before you dip the regular sandwich bread in it. That works, but Olivia made this recipe that takes it to a little higher level. In addition to the cinnamon, it adds nutmeg and vanilla. The recipe calls for brioche, but Olivia used some Amish egg bread (rich and dense). Experiment with breads you like or breads you end up with leftovers of that you need to get used. Using real butter and real maple syrup also helps enhance the experience. This makes a great breakfast or if you are one of those people who enjoy breakfast for dinner, this is a great choice.
