Chai Spice French Toast

Directions

1. Add eggs, milk, heavy cream, sugar, ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, grated ginger, kosher salt, and vanilla extract to a large shallow bowl. Whisk vigorously until combined.​

2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, add 1 Tbsp butter and cook until melted. Swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. ​

3. In the meantime, dip each slice of bread into the custard mixture. Soak each side of the slice for 15-20 seconds or until mostly saturated. Transfer to skillet, working with 2 or 3 slices at a time depending on how large your skillet is, and cook 3-4 minutes on each side or until nicely browned. Repeat with remaining bread slices and custard, adding additional butter between each batch.

4. Serve with a pat of butter and maple syrup. ​
