FRENCH TOAST





3 eggs, beaten


1/4 cup milk


1/2 teaspoon vanilla, optional


1/2 teaspoon cinnamon


10 slices bread





In a large bowl, mix beaten eggs with the milk, vanilla and cinnamon. Dip a slice of bread into mixture then place on a heated griddle that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Cook for 1-2 minutes on each side on medium / medium-high heat or until desired doneness.
i break 2 eggs into a bowl, mix well, add just a little milk and a teaspoon of vanilla and shake cinnamon on top of that mixture.Then dip the bread into that mixture. The bread I use is the cinnamon swirl bread, or raisin bread or the best bread for french toast is texas toast bread, it's much thicker cut and holds the egg mixture better.
What do you mean from scratch? There is only one way to make french toast in my mind!!! Or do you mean other than the frozen pre-fab stuff you can buy now??


You can use whatever kind of bread you want....mix 2 eggs w/about a couple of tablespoons of milk for every 2 pieces of bread, (make sure your eggs/milk are in a dish that you will be able to dip your full piece of bread in) then you can add cinnamon to the egg/milk mixture if you want....get your fry pan hot before you dip anything....put a little oil or butter in your pan.....when pan is hot.....dip your bread on one side then the other making sure both sides are covered with egg/milk mixture and then fry until golden.....make sure there are no soggy parts when cooking is done. Remove from pan onto plate.....you can sprinkle icing sugar then your syrup voila!!!


Hope this helps!!
