Originally a way to use up stale bread, hot, steaming French toast is a perfect addition to a brunch, as well as making a delicious cold weather breakfast treat.
Follow these steps, and you'll soon be enjoying its delicious goodness.
Ingredients
Non-stick spray, olive oil, or butter/margarine
Cinnamon (Season to taste)
1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) vanilla extract (vanilla essence, optional) or almond essence
Bread (6 pieces), type of bread is up to your preference
Icing Sugar, syrup, jam, etc.
Milk (depending on number of eggs, 2 tablespoons per egg)
Steps
1 Set the stove or electric pan to medium high heat:
Place the pan over the burner if cooking over the stove. Add non-stick spray, olive oil or butter so that the bread will not stick to the pan.
Spread the oil across the pan if needed, or mop up any excess.
2 Crack the eggs into a bowl.
3 Add milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon and beat them with a fork or whisk.
4 Turn the heat down to medium-low, once the pan is heated sufficiently.
5 Dip the bread into the egg mixture.
6 Coat a slice of the bread with the mixture on both sides.
7 Place each slice onto the pan.
8 Cook the toast until golden on both sides. (Approximately 45 seconds per side.)
9 Put the toast on a plate. Then serve immediately with syrup.
Add hot applesauce, cinnamon or icing sugar for extra deliciousness.
For the sides, add bacon, sausages, fruit with whipped cream, eggs etc. - these all go very well to make a wonderful meal.
