Instructions
Slice your bread and, if it's not already stale, let it sit out for awhile to harden up a bit.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs well. Add the milk, syrup or sugar, vanilla, salt, and nutmeg and/or cinnamon if using. Mix well.
Heat a large non-stick griddle to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or set a medium non-stick pan over medium heat. If necessary, add melt a little butter on the griddle or in the pan to help prevent sticking.
One by one, dip the bread into the egg mixture, using a fork to help dunk and maneuver. Dip for about 1 second on each side then transfer immediately to the cooking surface.
Cook on the first side until golden brown, 1-2 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side until golden brown and the egg is cooked through, another 1-2 minutes.
Transfer to a platter and cover with a dishtowel to keep warm until serving.
