French Toast
I made this a few times recently, but only yesterday, I remembered to take pictures before they were torn apart by kids :p
Super simple, probably not the traditional way to make authentic French Toast, but it works for me. I always have everything on hand.
Ingredients:
Sliced bread, you can use literally all kinds of bread, white, wheat, oats, whatever you have on hand. I normally buy 12 or 15 grain bread, that’s why you see the grain and oats on the sides of the bread
1 egg
about 1 cup of milk, again, any kind you have on hand, even soy or almond milk, or cream, if you are into heavy dense and super filling french toast
1 splash of vanilla
about 1 tbsp of honey, I don’t measure this, I simply squeeze honey into the mixture, a bit more, a bit less doesn’t hurt
1 dash of ground cinnamon, about 1 tsp, again, I never measure this either.
Method:
Mix everything together in a shallow dish with large opening, except for the bread, use a fork or whisk, make sure the honey dissolves nicely into the mixture. Cinnamon tends to float on top, that’s normal.
Heat up a pan on medium heat, melt a tab of butter, or use cooking spray. Put a slice of bread into the mixture, gently press down to let bread soak up the mixture. Flip after about 3 to 5 seconds, soak the other side. Make sure don’t soak bread too long, the slice will fall apart quite easily.
Gently lay the slice of bread soaked in egg mixture in the pan, fry for about a minute, until golden brown. Flip, brown the other side. Plate it up, that’s really it!
Well, I did not find my powdered sugar and did not have any berries on hand yesterday, so I served it as is, or with an additional drizzle of real maple syrup. I love it as is, with a hint of the nuttiness from the whole grain. Kids of course, wanted the maple syrup. Along with some turkey bacon, pan fried eggs and avocado chunks, breakfast is served!
