1-Getting ready for Caramel French Toast: First, blend the butter and brown sugar until they’re well combined this creates the base for that irresistible caramel flavor. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg to form a smooth mixture.

2-Soaking the bread: Pour this egg mix into a 13 x 9 inch casserole dish and lay the bread slices in it, turning them to coat evenly. Let the bread soak for at least 15 minutes, or pop it in the fridge overnight for even more flavor and a better texture it’s a game-changer for busy days.

3-Cooking the caramel mixture: Next, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter and brown sugar mixture in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. If you’re cooking in batches, use 2 tablespoons per batch to keep things even. Spread the remaining mixture on top of the soaked bread, then place the slices in the skillet with the buttered side up.

4-Cooking the French toast: Cook until the bottoms turn deep brown, about 3 to 4 minutes, then flip and cook the other side for another 3 to 4 minutes. The whole process takes about 10 minutes to prepare and 12 minutes to cook, totaling 22 minutes, making it perfect for a quick meal. This dish works great for breakfast or as a fun breakfast-for-dinner option, impressing everyone at the table.
