2 tablespoons butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Whisk together the eggs, milk, half-and-half, extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a shallow baking dishm I use a pie pan and set aside.
Combine the cornflakes and nuts in another shallow dish, I use a paper plate.
Melt 1/3 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over low heat.
Dip 2 slices of bread in the egg mixture and lightly coat each side.
Transfer the slices to the cornflake mixture, turn to coat, and place in the prepared skillet.
Cook for 3 minutes on each side, transfer to a baking sheet, and set aside.
