During tough times, there is one thing that can bring us together and {hopefully} keep us calm — comfort food.

How to Make It
This recipe is a lot simpler than it seems.
- First, grab a bowl and whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. Whisk until it the mixture is smooth.
- Next, use what Casey calls the “the ABC technique” to dip the bread into the mixture one piece at a time. Casey says to “When you put the bread in begin the ABCs. Once you get to G turn it over to soak the other side. When you get P flip again. And again at V, once more at Z and then carefully lift it and let it drain off its side as you sing ‘Now I know my ABCs, next time won’t you sing with me!'”
- Next, heat up your pan to medium heat, melt a bit of butter, and add it to your dipped bread. Casey says to “continue to do the ABCs and add into the pan one by one {or however many can fit in your pan in a single layer}.”
- Cook each piece of toast’s side until it’s browned {for about five minutes each}.
- Finally, grab some butter, powdered sugar, syrup, and other toppings, serve, and enjoy!
