Meyer Lemon-Pepper Honey
1 1/2 cups honey
1 teaspoon Meyer lemon zest
3 tablespoons Meyer lemon juice
1 teaspoon freshly-cracked black pepper (do not substitute with ground black pepper!)
1 pinch cayenne
Egg Mixture, Bread, Oil for Griddle
2 cups whole milk
6 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon Meyer lemon zest
2 1/2 tablespoons sugar
12 pieces Texas Toast, preferably stale or dry
Vegetable or peanut oil, for griddle

1
In small saucepan (or in mug in microwave), warm Meyer Lemon-Pepper Honey ingredients and keep warm.
2
Preheat grill (charcoal is preferable; be sure briquettes are spaced evenly and not stacked, and only grill when hot coals are grey, not flaming or red).
3
Oil a clean, nonstick griddle pan with ridges and place the griddle pan on warm grill to gently preheat for five minutes (don't wait too long or oil will smoke).
4
Whisk (or blend with immersion blender or food processor) together egg mixture ingredients until frothy.
5
Submerge each slice of Texas Toast in egg mixture and set on plate.
6
Depending on your griddle pan size, place as many dipped toast slices on warmed griddle pan as will fit without overcrowding. Watch carefully and flip each slice with spatula after 1-2 minutes on each side (once grill lines form on toast); repeat for remaining slices of toast and set aside.
7
Sprinkle each slice with powdered sugar and serve with the warm, spiced honey.
