Good old American French Toast. This makes about 8 pieces of toast. Enjoy it with your choice of toppings – we use warmed maple syrup – or we eat it plain. Goes great with hot coffee.
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 Tbsp. sugar
8 pieces good sturdy white bread, or egg-type bread
Butter
In medium sized bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla and sugar. Pour this into a pan with sides, such as a 9 x 13 x 2 pan. Place 2 or 3 pieces of bread in this mixture in pan and let sit for 2 minutes on each side.
Meanwhile, in a large nonstick frying pan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. When the foam subsides, add the bread slices in a single layer and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes, then turn and cook the other side about 3-4 minutes more. Repeat with remaining bread.
