I recognize that French Toast has probably been around for decades, if not centuries, but below is the recipe that my mom used to teach me to make French Toast. The key ingredient is CINNAMON!
French Toast
Quantity: 4 slices
4 slices of French Bread (may substitute wheat - makes it a little heavier)
2 eggs
Milk (1/8 - 1/4 cup)
1 t. vanilla (not imitation)
2 t. cinnamon (or more)
Crack the eggs in a shallow bowl and stir. Add 1/8 - 1/4 c. milk to the eggs - you want the milk to lighten the eggs to a light yellow, but not cream or white as that means too much milk. Stir in the vanilla and cinnamon.
Heat a skillet over medium/high heat on the stove and use Pam or butter to coat the skillet. Next, coat each side of bread with the egg mixture by laying it flat in the bowl. Use a fork to flip it to avoid messy fingers and ensure both sides of bread are completely covered in the egg mixture. Lay the bread in the skillet and allow to brown on one side before flipping to the other side. I do not give cook times because every stove is different, just use a fork or flipper/turner to lift up a corner of the french toast to check if the side has browned enough before flipping it over.
Pull french toast from the skillet when both sides are light brown and crispy. Serve with a light dusting of powdered sugar or dollop of maple syrup. Enjoy!!
