French Toast!

I love, love, love french toast! Everytime I go out for breakfast, I order french toast. I rarely make it at home because we only really keep regular bread and I think what makes french toast soo good is using special bread, like brioche, challah (Jewish egg bread), or my husbands delicious homemade bread! So if you find a special bread to make this recipe with, it will make it all the better, and if not, well it will still be pretty good in my opinion! This recipe is adapted from Martha's Classic French Toast recipe. I took away somethings and replaced it with other to make it a little more healthy, for instance, milk instead of cream, and Pam instead of all that butter! Enjoy!





Classic French Toast

Ingredients

Serves 6

• 6 large eggs
• 1 1/2 fat-free milk (or any type of milk you want to use)
  
• 2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  
• 6 slices (1-inch-thick) bread, preferably day old
• butter, for serving
  
• Pam or butter for pan
  
• Pure maple syrup, for serving (optional)
• 1/4 cup toasted slivered almonds (optional)
  

Directions

1. Whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon in a medium bowl; set aside.
2. Place bread in the egg mixture, one at a time, and let it soak for about 1 minute per side (depending on the thickness of bread).
3. Preheat pan on stove to medium high heat. Add Pam or butter to pan. Place soaked bread in pan and cook, flipping once, until both sides are browned and egg is fully cooked . Serve warm with pure maple syrup and a sprinkling of toast slivered almonds, if using.
