Yields: 6 servings, Total Time: 15 mins
WHAT YOU NEED:
6 slices of *stale bread, white or brown
2 eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 tbsp salted butter
1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
1/2 tsp nutmeg powder
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
2 tbsp sugar
Honey
Whipped cream
Any kind of fruit (optional)
*bread which is at least 7-8 days old
WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO:
1. In a bowl, beat eggs, milk, and sugar for about a minute, or till it turns frothy.
2. Add the cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla essence, and whisk well. Add 1/2 tbsp of butter, stir slightly, and set it aside.
3. In a pan, heat the remaining butter over a medium - low flame. Dip the bread slices in the egg and milk batter, and start frying it in the pan over a medium flame. Let it fry for about 3 minutes each, turning it occasionally to make sure that it’s getting cooked on both sides.

5. Top it up with some honey and whipped cream, and add some fruits on the side. Dig in!
