French Toast

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 Eggs
• Bread (quantity depends on the type of bread being used)
• 1/2 cup of milk
• 1/2 tablespoon of sugar
• 2 tablespoons of butter preferred melted, but is not necessary
• 1/2 tablespoon of vanilla (if desired)

STEPS:

1. Crack the eggs into the bowl, and beat them with a fork or whisk
2. Add milk to the eggs, and mix using a fork or whisk.
3. Add the sugar and vanilla to the mixture.
4. Put the pan on the stove on medium heat, and add butter or margarine to the pan so that the bread will not stick (you can also use non-stick sprays (Pam).
5. Coat one slice of the bread with the mixture on both sides,and then place the slice into the pan. Repeat this step with the remaining slices of bread.
6. Turn the heat down to low once the pan is heated sufficiently.
7. Cook the toast until browned on both sides.
8. Put the toast on a plate, and then serve immediately with the syrup and cinnamon. (hot apple sauce and cinnamon is also very good.)

TIPS:

• Eggs will blend much better if allowed to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes prior to cracking.
• Ideally you would use old bread (hard baguette or bakery bread not mouldy toast bread)then you can soak it in the mix to soften it before cooking it in the pan.
• Add some vanillia extract and cinnamon for some flavor!
• just 1 minute on each side should be enough.
• An easy estimation for the amount of milk to add is to add about as much milk as there is egg in the bowl before you beat it, then beat and mix the egg and milk at the same time.
• For potentially better results, you can add powdered sugar to the bread just before serving if you'd like.
• Use bakery bread, rather than factory made sliced bread - it will taste that much better.
• Use stale raisin bread for a delicious change and you can eliminate the cinnamon and vanilla extract.
• A good idea for parties and special occasions is to use cookie cutters on the bread (before you add the egg)!
