French Toast

How do you make the perfect French Toast? Well, let me share my recipe with you because this is the BEST French Toast! A simple classic, this French Toast contains just enough cinnamon and nutmeg and is perfect for any breakfast or brunch!

French Toast is one of my husband’s favorites foods ever. I don’t spoil him with this though…he only gets it 2 times a year. He gets my French Toast on Father’s Day and his birthday! Father’s day is six days away and he’s looking so forward to waking up to a hot cup of coffee with his homemade French Toast and turkey back on eggs!

This recipe probably isn’t the healthiest, but it tastes absolutely amazing! I am a health freak who constantly eats well, but you know what? You have to stop sometimes and enjoy life’s simple pleasures every once in awhile! I am a believer in a cheat meal!!

When making this recipe, feel free to mix it up and make your French Toast with your favorite type of bread. My husband’s favorite bread is thick texas toast. My favorite bread to use with this recipe is Ezekiel Bread. My son likes cinnamon raisin bread. If you are gluten free, use a gluten free bread!

With this recipe, you’re going to mix together all your wet ingredients in a bowl. Next, you’re going to slice your bread into 3 columns.

From there, you’ll pour your wet ingredients into a flat bowl so each piece of bread can soak. You’ll soak each piece of bread for about 10 seconds or until it’s completely covered and slightly saturated.

Next, you’re ready fire up your pan and saute each piece!! Step by step instructions are below. So easy, so simple and oh so tasty! I’m claiming this recipe as my own, only because I have altered it so much. It originally came from Better Homes and Garden…but my version is fantastic!

Treat your dad this father’s day with a fabulous breakfast! I guarantee he’ll love it!

Ingredients

• 4 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup milk, (I use 2%)
• 2 Tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, ground
• 2 Tablespoons butter
• 8 slices Texas Toast (or use any bread)

Instructions

1. Pre-heat over to 350.

2. In a small and shallow bowl, beat together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg.

3. Cut your slices of Texas Toast so you have 3 columns.

4. Dip bread slices quickly on both sides. You want to ensure both sides are covered, but not soaked.

5. In a skillet, melt your 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.

6. Add half the bread slices and cook until the first side is lightly browned.

7. Turn over and cook until the other side is browned.

8. Repeat with remaining bread slices.

9. Once all the bread slices are browned, place them on a cookie sheet and place in the oven for 10 minutes. The goal is to get these slightly crisp. This is what makes this recipe so good!

10. Remove and add butter and syrup. You are ready to eat!
