Preheat the Egg and CI skillet to around 400 dome (you can do this on the stove if you want)
I didn't measure but this would be close enough
1-1/2 cups milk
4 eggs
1 tbs vanilla
1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
1 cup of sugar
Beat the eggs, add all the other ingredients and stir it around a bit to get the sugar to dissolve - it probably won't all dissolve.
Soak the bread in the mixture for about 10 minutes turning it several times. I poke holes in the bread so it will soak up as much mixture as possible.
Put a small amount of vegetable oil in the skillet and put the bread in.
Adjust the vanilla and the nutmeg to your own taste or you can leave it out all together if you like.
You won't need powdered sugar or syrup if you make it using the above directions.
For a pain perdu sammie cut back on some of the sugar, vanilla, and nutmeg (or leave it if you like)
Ham and cheese
Soak several minutes on both sides and then into the pan
Dust em if you like
