• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Whisk 4 eggs, 1 1/2 cups half-and-half or milk, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon sugar and a pinch of salt in a shallow bowl. Heat 1/2 tablespoon butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, dip 6 thick slices white bread, challah or brioche in the egg mixture and cook in the skillet until golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side, adding more butter as needed. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake until puffed, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Melt 3 ounces chopped bittersweet chocolate with 1/3 cup maple syrup in the microwave on 50 percent power, 1 minute; stir until smooth. Top the French toast with the chocolate syrup and confectioners' sugar.

TOASTED BAGUETTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Slice the baguette into thin slices on the bias (diagonally). Place the slices on a baking sheet in a single layer.

GARLIC TOASTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Slice the baguette diagonally into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Depending on the size of the baguette, you should get 20 to 25 slices.
• Lay the slices in one layer on a baking sheet, brush each with olive oil, and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Bake the toasts for 15 to 20 minutes, until they are browned and crisp. As soon as they are cool enough to handle, rub one side of the toasts with the cut side of the garlic. Serve at room temperature.

GINGERY SHRIMP TOASTS

Steps:

• Place oven rack 6 inches from broiler heat source. Arrange baguette slices in single layer on large foil-lined cookie sheet. Broil 1 to 2 minutes or until tops are golden. Turn baguette slices over. Brush with some of melted butter; set aside remaining butter and baguette slices.
• In food processor, pulse cilantro, jalapeno, shallot, ginger, sugar, 1/4 cup panko and 1/4 teaspoon salt until finely chopped. Add shrimp and mayonnaise; pulse until shrimp are just finely chopped, stopping and scraping side of bowl occasionally. Divide mixture among baguette slices.
• In small bowl, combine remaining 1/2 cup panko and reserved melted butter. Top each toast with panko mixture, pressing to adhere. Broil 1 to 2 minutes or until browned and shrimp are cooked through. Serve topped with sesame seeds and cilantro leaves.

(Toasts may be made 2 days ahead and kept in an airtight container.)

With motor running, add oil in a slow stream, blending until incorporated, and season spread with salt and pepper. (Spread may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring spread to room temperature before serving.)
