Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices keto bread (store-bought or homemade; see notes in Variations)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream (or full-fat coconut milk for dairy-free)
  • 1–2 tablespoons granular or powdered keto sweetener (erythritol, allulose, or monk fruit blend)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1–2 tablespoons butter or coconut oil for the pan
  • Optional toppings: sugar-free syrup, fresh berries, a dollop of whipped cream, chopped nuts, or a dusting of powdered sweetener

Method
 

  1. Whisk the custard: In a shallow bowl, whisk eggs, heavy cream, sweetener, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth and slightly frothy.
  2. Prep the bread: If your keto bread is very soft, let slices sit out for 5–10 minutes to dry slightly. This helps them soak without falling apart.
  3. Heat the pan: Place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add butter or coconut oil and let it melt and coat the pan evenly.
  4. Soak the slices: Dip one slice at a time into the custard. Let it soak for about 10–15 seconds per side. Aim for saturated but not soggy.
  5. Cook to golden: Lay soaked slices in the hot pan. Cook 2–3 minutes per side, until deeply golden with crisp edges. Adjust the heat so the toast browns without burning.
  6. Finish the batch: Repeat with remaining slices, adding a touch more butter or oil if the pan looks dry.
  7. Serve warm: Plate immediately with your favorite keto-friendly toppings. A pat of butter and a drizzle of sugar-free syrup keep it classic.
