Preparation
  1. Blend the custard by adding soaked cashews, vegan milk, flax meal, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, sea salt, and brandy to a blender. Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy.
  2. Pour the blended custard into a shallow dish, cover it, and refrigerate for 15 minutes to thicken.
Cooking
  1. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of vegan butter or oil.
  2. Dip each slice of bread into the chilled custard, soaking for 10–15 seconds per side. Let any excess drip off.
  3. Place the soaked slices onto the hot skillet. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp on the edges.
  4. Add the remaining butter or oil as needed for the next batch.
Serving

Notes

Use day-old bread for better soaking without becoming mushy. Experiment with flavored syrups for added excitement.
