Special Notes

This single-serve French toast is perfect for a quick breakfast for one. The combination of egg, milk, and spices creates a rich, custardy coating that's perfect for thick bread. The key is to not over-soak the bread to prevent it from becoming mushy. It's a great way to enjoy a classic breakfast dish without making a large batch.
