Elevate your dinner with the warm, sweet flavors of molasses that perfectly complement the tangy sourdough.
Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).
In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 egg, 1/2 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of molasses, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
In another bowl, combine 4 slices of sourdough bread, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
Pour the liquid egg mixture over the sourdough and gently mix until the bread is soaked.
In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once melted, pour in the sourdough mixture and spread it evenly.
Cook on the stovetop for about 5 minutes until the bottom starts to set.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for another 20–25 minutes until the top is golden brown and puffed.
Once done, remove from the oven and drizzle with maple syrup before serving.
