How to Make French Toast Extraordinaire
- Prepare the cream cheese and jam sandwiches: Spread cream cheese evenly on two slices of bread. Top with a generous layer of your favorite jam (approximately 2 tablespoons). Top with remaining bread slice to create a sandwich.
- Whisk together the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 cup milk (adjust as needed for bread type), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg.
- Stir in citrus and spice: Gently fold in 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger.
- Cook the French toast: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Dip each sandwich completely into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Pan-fry: Cook the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
- Serve: Remove from heat, cut each sandwich in half diagonally. Arrange on a plate with your favorite fresh fruit (berries, bananas, etc.) and a side of sausage, bacon, or ham.
