Here is twist on plain French Toast. Serve with an assortment of fruit syrups.

2 cups (1 pint) half-and-half
4 eggs
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 cups bread cubes (see note below)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 5- by 9-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients except the bread cubes; mix well. Stir in the bread cubes and allow to sit for 10 minutes, or until all the liquid has been absorbed.

Spoon into the loaf pan and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until golden. Remove from the pan; slice and serve.
