I like using thick-sliced bread when making my French Toast.

French Toast is easy to make.

Got some day-old bread, a couple of eggs, a little milk and a non-stick frying pan? Well, then you can make this recipe for Basic French Toast.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 03 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, optional
  • butter or vegetable spray
  • 4 slices day-old bread*
  • Powdered sugar and syrup, optional

Preparation:

In a shallow bowl with a fork, combine eggs and milk. On medium, heat frying pan on stove. Either melt a little butter or spray pan with vegetable spray. Dip bread into bowl with egg mixture. Make sure both sides are wet. With fork, allow bread to drip over bowl. Place slice of bread in pan. Continue process with the other slices. Turn slices over when bread slightly brown. Cook final side. Remove cooked slices to a plate and keep warm. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve warm with syrup.

Note: When I make more French Toast than this, I prefer to mix my milk and eggs in a 4-cup measuring cup. Then I only pour enough mixture in the shallow bowl to dip a couple of slices at a time.
