Easy French Toast
What you'll need:
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup milk (I used the low-fat variety)
- 1/3 tsp salt (or less)
- 1/3 tsp sugar
- 4 pieces of bread (I used the whole wheat variety)
- a little butter
- Pre-heat the pan and spread a little butter over it.
- Beat the eggs and add the milk, the salt (I used a little under 1/3 tsp) and the sugar. Mix.
- Pour the mixture on a flattish pan so that when you dip the bread, it can thoroughly soak up the egg mixture.
- Dip the bread into the pan with the egg mixture.
- Fry the bread over the pan until both sides are golden brown.
- Serve with butter and honey or maple syrup. I also fried some lean bacon to go with our French toast.
I love butter. I know it's bad for me because of all the fat. But I just love it. I love the smell of it, especially when it's cooking. So, when I was making the French toast, I was in butter and milk heaven. I over-soaked some of the pieces of bread and ended up with a not-so-soaked last bread piece. But overall our French toast was yummy and the bacon went well with it.
I love morning treats like these. Pancakes, French toast... one of these days I might make some toaster oven scones (if there's even such a thing). I think I'm a brunch type of person. That's why I love breakfast places like Pancake House, Heaven & Eggs and Flap Jacks. I associate it with family time and lots of happy conversation around the table.
Here's to more of them (butter and brunch)... in moderation. :-)
