Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • ½ cup milk

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (Optional)

  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon (Optional)

  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (Optional)

  • 4 stale bagels, split

  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar, or to taste

Directions

  1. Beat milk, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a large, flat container.

  2. Place bagels, insides-down, into the egg mixture. Let sit for 30 minutes.

  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add bagel slices and cook, working in batches if needed, until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve warm.

Cook's Notes:

If bagels did not come split, slice into thirds. If you cut the bagels in thirds you will have to either ladle the mixture over the top or flip the bagels over in the egg mixture.

If you want custard-like French toast, refrigerate the bagels to sit overnight. Cook time may be longer.
