Spiced French Toast

This French breakfast toast is simple to prepare and absolutely delicious.
Thinning blueberry jam with a bit of apple juice makes for a delicious
"syrup." Challah (egg) bread is wonderful but feel free to substitute your
favorite fresh bread.

Serves 4
4 organic eggs
1/2 cup milk, soy milk or almond milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
organic butter for the skillet
8 slices Challah bread, or your choice of fresh bread
fruit-sweetened blueberry jam, or other jam, as desired
small amount organic apple juice

Preheat oven to 200 F. Place a large dinner plate in the warmed oven. Whisk
together the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg in a wide shallow dish
and set aside. Heat a non-stick skillet or a cast iron skillet that has been
lightly buttered over medium high heat. Dip each piece of bread, one by one,
into the egg and milk mixture. Drain excess mixture and place in the hot
skillet. Cook until just browned on the bottom, watching the toast carefully
(just a couple of minutes). Turn, and brown the other side. Adjust heat to
medium, if necessary, to prevent burning. Place in the oven on warmed plate
while preparing the remaining pieces. Just before serving, heat the jam in a
small saucepan with a small amount of apple juice to desired consistency.
Drizzle over the top of the French toast and serve immediately.
