Ingredients
  

4 slices of thick bread (preferably brioche or challah)

2 large eggs

1/2 cup milk (or any plant-based milk)

2 tablespoons molasses

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Butter or oil for cooking

Optional toppings: powdered sugar, syrup, whipped cream, or fresh fruit

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, molasses, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and well combined.

    Soak the Bread: Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter or oil to coat the surface. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 15-20 seconds on each side, ensuring it absorbs enough flavor without falling apart.

      Cook the Toast: Place the soaked bread slices onto the heated skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until each slice is golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside.

        Serve: Once cooked, transfer the French toast to plates. Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with syrup or add any desired toppings. Serve warm with fresh fruit or whipped cream if desired.

          Enjoy: Indulge in your delicious Gingerbread French Toast while savoring the cozy spices!
