1 c. flour

1 loaf challah or other bread, cut in 3/4-inch slices

pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
1 tsp. orange flower water (optional)
small pinch of sea salt
unsalted butter for sauteing (as needed)

1
Slice bread an hour or two before you make the French toast, if you can, so that it will dry out.
2
Put oven on low (unless intending to serve as soon as cooked).
3
Beat eggs with milk and stir in vanilla, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, optional orange flower water and salt.
4
Heat butter in a large, heavy frying pan over low heat.
5
Dip bread slices into batter on both sides.
6
They should be saturated but not so soggy that they will fall apart.
7
Place in frying pan and continue dipping slices and adding them to pan (but don't overcrowd the pan).
8
Saute slowly, until the first side turns golden brown, about 5 to 7 minutes.
9
Then turn and saute on the other side until golden brown.
10
Place in oven on a baking sheet to keep warm if you aren't serving at once.
11

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
