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

1. Preheat a medium sized skillet pan on medium heat. Add ghee and let melt.

2. In a medium bowl (ideally with a flat bottom) add cracked eggs, water, cinnamon, cardamom and vanilla. Whisk until well blended.

3. 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.

4. 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)

5. 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.

6. Once golden brown on both sides, put on plate. Dress with ghee, maple syrup and sunflower seeds. Enjoy!
