Christmas Toast

Christmas Toast

Ingredients:
4 eggs
1 cup milk
3 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
4 tsp. nutmeg
8 slices French bread, sliced thick
3 tbsp. melted butter

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375F.
To prepare toast: whisk eggs with milk, sugar, vanilla, and nutmeg. Dip bread
into mixture, coating both sides, allowing bread to soak up mixture. Place bread in
single layer on baking sheets brushed with butter to prevent sticking. Bake for 12
minutes, turn, bake for 12 minutes or until brown and puffy.
Serve with icing sugar “snow” dusted over the toast, mint leaves, and a dollop
of red currant jam to resemble Christmas holly.
For a tasty alternative for the bread base, use croissants sliced in half, soaked
in egg mixture and baked.
Rice pudding is one of my all time favorite breakfasts and a great way to use
up leftover rice from last night’s Chinese Food dinner. In fact, whenever I cook
steamed rice I always make twice what I need so I know I’ll be able to make “rice
puddy” for breakfast.
