- Whisk the egg, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- Gently blend in the milk
- Heat 10 grams of butter in a cast iron skillet over medium heat.
- Soak each piece of bread in the custard for 30 seconds, turning half way through until soaked through.
- Add each slice of bread to the heated skillet, and cook for 3 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
