Simple French Toast
December 26, 2005
If you are thinking about tossing out that left over crusty baguette bread - don't! You can convert this bread into breakfast with a little milk and eggs.
You will need:
- 6 (or four) hearty slices of leftover baguette (really fresh baguette isn't that great for this dish);
- 2 eggs,
- 1/2 c of half and half or cream;
- 1/2 tsp of nutmeg or cinnamon,
- 1 tsp of vanilla.
For a really yummy treat, add 1 tsp of frangelico or rum.
Butter, and quality maple syrup are a must.
Step one: in a bowl, whip the eggs with a wire wisk or fork, add milk, vanilla, and spices.
Step Two: Dip bread in so it soaks up mixture on each side, place in a hot skillet with 1 tbsp of butter melted (cook on medium).
Step Three: Serve with syrup, butter, and powdered sugar if you like.
