Honey Flavors and Colors

Honey has different flavors and colors, depending on the location and kinds of flowers the bees visit. Climatic conditions of the area also influence its flavor and color.

Directions

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, 2 tablespoons honey, rum, cinnamon and nutmeg. Pour mixture into a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Slice bread into 8 (3/4–inch thick) slices. Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add butter. Dip bread slices in egg mixture to coat. Place in heated skillet. Cook about 3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Remove to a warm oven to keep hot. Continue until all bread slices are cooked.
