I like French toast - mainly because it is a way to get rid of bread that might otherwise go bad. At home, I'd probably prefer pancakes - or even better just bacon and eggs and biscuits. But, I had a loaf of bread that I wanted to not have to throw away in a few days, so I made these. I want to continue to manipulate the recipe to make it something special - but for what it is, I liked it.
Ingredients
6 pieces of bread (thicker bread is preferred, but I used regular bread)
2 Eggs Beaten
1/4 cup Whipping Cream
1/2 Teaspoon of Vanilla
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
1 Tablespoon Honey
1/2 Teaspoon of cinnamon
2 Tablespoons (pats) of butter
Cooking Directions
Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl
Add whipping cream, honey, vanilla, salt and cinnamon to eggs and mix together.
Soak both sides of bread in egg mixture.
Heat skillet and melt butter
Cook toast in the butter for about 1 minute per side
Optional - finish the toast in a toaster oven (this keeps it warm to serve and hardens it a bit).
Serve with syrup
2 Eggs
Beat eggs in bowl with fork
Add cream
Egg and cream mixture
Add vanilla, honey and salt and mix in
Add cinnamon
Here is the final egg batter mixture
Melt butter
until melted
Coat bread with batter
Place bread in melted butter (this picture is from the second batch, which is why the butter is "dir
Turn and continue to cook until brown.
I like to finish them in the toaster oven - not necessary though - and toast each side.
