instructions
    1

    Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

    2

    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.

    3

    In another bowl, combine 4 slices of sourdough bread, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

    4

    Pour the liquid egg mixture over the sourdough and gently mix until the bread is soaked.

    5

    In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once melted, pour in the sourdough mixture and spread it evenly.

    6

    Cook on the stovetop for about 5 minutes until the bottom starts to set.

    7

    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.

How to be creative
  • Add chopped nuts for extra crunch and flavor.
  • Incorporate seasonal fruits like berries or bananas for a fresh twist.
  • Experiment with spices by adding cardamom or ginger for a unique flavor profile.
Important Tips
  • Make sure your sourdough is slightly stale for the best texture.
  • If you're dairy-free, substitute milk with almond or oat milk.
  • Let the mixture sit for a few minutes before cooking to allow the bread to fully absorb the liquid.
