6 large eggs

1 1/2 cup heavy cream, half and half, or milk

2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

pinch of ground nutmeg

pinch of salt

6 slices (1 inch thick) bread, preferably day old

4 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions:

1. Whisk together, cream, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt into a medium bowl; set aside.

2. Place bread in a shallow baking dish large enough to hold bread slices in a single layer.  Pour egg mixture over break; soak 10 minutes.

3.  Turn slices over, soak until soaked through, about 10 minutes more.

4.  Heat 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.  

5.  Fry bread slices until golden brown. 

6.  Serve warm with syrup and powdered sugar.

Thoughts:  It was good, but still needs some tweaking.

Verdict:  Make again?  Probably.
