Ingredients

  • 2 tsp molasses
  • 1/3 cup milk of choice
  • 1 1/2 tbsp white sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ginger
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp allspice
  • 1/8 tsp cloves
  • butter, oil or margarine (just to cover pan)
  • maple syrup, pomegranate, toppings of your choice

Instructions

  • In a bowl, whisk 3 eggs. Something shallow but wide works best!
  • Add 2 tsp of molasses and whisk until fully incorporated into the eggs (this might take a minute!)
  • Add in 1/3 cup of milk and mix.
  • Add in remaining ingredients: 1 1/2 tbsp white sugar, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ginger, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1/8 tsp allspice, 1/8 tsp cloves. Whisk until fully combined.
  • Dip each piece of bread into the egg mixture and allow to sit. I like to leave it for at least 2 minutes on each side to allow the egg to soak through the bread.
  • Put a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Add a tiny bit bit of butter, oil or margarine and allow to melt and cover pan.
  • Add egg to hot pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
  • Top with maple syrup, fresh pomegranate or whatever toppings you like!
