Classic French Toast

Saturdays, I love them. 

This past Saturday was particularly wonderful because we woke to a brilliant,

Spring-time rain storm, complete with a nice, rolling, thunder.  It is on mornings such as these that you sleep a little longer, stay in your pajamas a little later, drink coffee all day, and eat breakfast whenever you want! 

Since I was feeling particularly happy this Saturday,

I decided to make one of Studhubs favorites for brunch. 

Classic French Toast!

It is perfect for lazy afternoons because it takes next to no time to prepare, and

whoever you serve it to will feel like a million bucks because it's not your everyday breakfast.

It is sweet, rich, and gooey, all the things that make your tummy say "YUM!" 

Let me show you how I make it. 

Classic French Toast:

*Prep Time: 5 minutes  *Cook Time: 4 minutes  *Difficulty: Easy  *Servings: --

Ingredients:

• 4 eggs
• Bread
• 1/2 c. Milk
• 1/4 c. Sugar
• 1 tsp. Cinnamon
• 1 tsp. Vanilla

Tools:

• Baking dish
• Skillet or Griddle
• Measuring Cups
• Measuring Spoons
• Whisk

To a baking dish, add the eggs,

Sugar,

Milk,

Cinnamon,

and Vanilla.

Whisk together well.

You can use any kind of bread you like. 

Usually I use a standard sandwich loaf, but

I had this beautiful ciabatta so I decided to use it. 

When using artisan breads, make sure you slice the bread thinly.

You want the egg mixture to be able to penetrate into the bread itself. 

Heat your skillet or griddle over medium/high heat, and spray with cooking spray.

Dip the bread into the egg mixture.

If you are using regular sandwich bread a quick flip will do.

If you are using something like ciabatta, you will nee to give is a minute or two.

Now flip and repeat.

Place the custard saturated bread on the griddle,

and let cook for 2-3 minutes.

Again, flip and repeat.

And there you have it! 

Delicious Classic French Toast, perfect for rainy day brunches, breakfast for dinner, or any time of the week. 

Serve it up with some delicious maple syrup, a pat of butter, and a dusting of confectioner's sugar...PERFECTION! 

I can't wait for you to try this dish, and I look forward to hearing all about it on my Facebook Page!

And as always...

Happy Reading, Happy Eating, and Happy Living,
