French Toast by Becky

Well last night we had spaghetti for dinner and we couldn't possibly eat the whole loaf of french bread that I bought from a great little Korean bakery here. Yes the Korean bakery is the best place for french bread that I have found in Texas so far. Sad hu? So this is what I made for breadfast. No, I don't usually wake up and make breakfast. It just happened to occure to me to use up the bread. This isn't the best picture but I only thought to take it after I had already made a mess of the plate and I didn't want to dirty another one. This recipe is great to use up leftover french bread (the real stuff from a real bakery not what you buy at the grocery store). It is best with real butter and real maple syrup. Hope you enjoy it.

French Toast

Ingredients:
4 Eggs
1/2 C. Heavy Cream
1 T. Sugar
1/2 t. Vanilla (real not imitation)
1/2 t. Cinnamon (optional)
Day old french bread cut to desired thickness.

Directions:
Turn skillet on med low heat to preheat. Meanwhile, mix all the ingredients except the bread until well blended. Dip each piece of bread into the mixture and turn to coat both sides. Immediately place in buttered pan and cook till golden brown then flip and repeat. Enjoy with whatever toppings you desire.
I like butter, powdered sugar and real maple syrup.

By the way, feel free to post pictures with your recipes. Even if they aren't the best. It makes it easier for me to see how it is supposed to look. And it adds interest. Don't you think?

sounds yummy, I will have to try it. My kids are big fans of french toast. We should put who the recipe is by.

We had it tonight and it was yummy. Although we didn't use real vanilla.

this is basically how I do french toast, only not with cream, and sometimes i don't use vanilla or sugar either. but the idea of real french bread and frying them, I actually use a large amount of crisco for that part.
