Classic French toast turns simple pantry ingredients into a luxurious weekend breakfast. The secret is using thick, slightly stale bread — brioche or challah works best — so it can soak up the custard without falling apart. A pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg in the egg and milk mixture gives it that warm, unmistakable French-toast flavor. Cook low and slow in butter for an evenly golden exterior with a custardy center. Serve immediately with powdered sugar, warm maple syrup, and fresh berries.
