INGREDIENTS
3 pieces of bread - sliced 1 inch thick
2 eggs
2 tbsps purified water
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cardamom
1/2 tsp vanilla
Ghee
Toppings:
Ghee or butter
Maple syrup
Sunflower seeds
DIRECTIONS
Preheat a medium sized skillet pan on medium heat. Add ghee and let melt.
In a medium bowl (ideally with a flat bottom) add cracked eggs, water, cinnamon, cardamom and vanilla. Whisk until well blended.
Soak one side of a slice of bread in egg wash then flip. Once both sides are coated place the egg-washed bread in the skillet.
Continue to put bread slices in egg wash and into pan until the pan is full. (Depending on size - you might be able to fit all in there or make one batch then cook another)
Cook on one side for about 3-5 minutes. Lift and check to see if the bottom is golden brown. Flip once golden brown. The second side needs about 2-3 minutes.
Once golden brown on both sides, put on plate. Dress with ghee, maple syrup and sunflower seeds. Enjoy!
