Drunken Cinnamon and Vanilla French Toast

I made some lovely french toast for lunch today. It turned out really nicely.

2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 tot brandy (less if U prefer)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (NOT essence, if U have a vanilla pod, scrap out all the pips and throw them in)
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
dash nutmeg
1 sprinkle of ground chillies flakes - NOT chilli powder (optional)
8 slices of bread/banana bread

In a shallow bowl, whisk egg, brandy and milk,add in the vanilla, cinnamon, chilli and nutmeg.
Melt a blob of good butter in a heavy pan over medium-hot setting and fry toast on both sides after dipping in egg, Take out once both sides are done and redip in egg, then refry.

While it is still hot, sprinkle with Muscavado/caramel or brown sugar and sprinkle with cinnamon lightly, then squeeze a lemon over it, serve with a few frozen berries or just as is.

It was sooo Good, I am gonna make it again! The chilli gave it a nice little Ziiiiiiip every now and then :)
