Rum-Raisin Toast 4 slices raisin bread 2 eggs 1/4 cup milk 4 tablespoons good dark rum Generous sprinklings of nutmeg 1 1/4 tablespoons butter
In a large bowl, beat the eggs vigorously. Whisk in milk, rum and nutmeg. Place all four pieces of bread in the egg mixture and let them soak for about 5 minutes.
Heat the butter in a heavy, nonstick skillet. When the skillet is very hot (but not smoking), place the pieces of soaked bread on it and fry until golden brown. Flip them and repeat on the other side.
