French toast with Mixed Berries

 I 
 I had some leftover whole wheat french bread. 
Which meant it was time for some French toast.
Combine:
2 eggs, 1/4 cup of cream, 1/2 tsp of nutmeg, 1 tsp of cinnamon, 1/2 tsp of vanilla
whisk
Dip sliced bread into egg mixture.
In a medium heat pan, melt 1/2 tsp of butter to coat pan.

Place dipped bread in frying pan, cook until browned on both sides.
