1. Put the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, maple
syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt into a
medium bowl. Whisk to fully combine and
pour into a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
2. Soak half of the bread in the milk mixture,
turning so both sides are saturated.
3. While the bread is soaking, turn on the
Cuisinart® Smoke-less Contact Griddler®.
Select Grill/Griddle and set to 350°F.
4. Once preheated, put the soaked bread on
the hot griddle and select the count-up
timer. Cook 3½ to 4 minutes per side. Soak
remaining bread while first batch of French
toast is cooking.
5. Remove and reserve the cooked French
toast in a warm oven, and then repeat with
remaining soaked bread.
6. To serve, dust with confectioners’ sugar
and top with fresh fruit and maple syrup,
if desired.
