French Toast is a tasty and satisfying way to use up any slices of bread that might have gotten stale. This recipe also works well with fresh bread.
In a shallow bowl, that is wide enough at the bottom for your biggest slice of bread to lay flat in, gather the following:
- 1 cup Milk
- 4 Eggs
- 1 Tbsp Vanilla Extract
- A pinch of salt.
- (Optional, add a teaspoon of cinnamon for a warm taste)
Whisk this with a fork until it is frothy.
Heat up a fry pan and begin melting butter in it.
Soak a slice of bread in the batter, then flip it so the other side can also absorb the batter: 5 seconds per side.
Put the soaked slice of bread in the hot melted butter in the pan, then flip it. Fry for 2 minutes per side.
Repeat process with another slice of bread, and another, until all the batter has been used up.
Serve like a pancake, with any of the following:
- Berries
- Butter
- Drizzle of juice squeezed out of an orange wedge
- Grated Cheese
- Icing Sugar
- Jam
- Syrup
- Whipped cream
