French Toast

Breakfast Delight
There will be mornings when only French Toast will satisfy. Here's the low-down on how easy it is to make. It's also cheap to make because you can buy 'day old' bread for less money.

Utensils:

• whisk (or fork)
• mixing bowl
• griddle or skillet

Ingredients: (for about 2 people)

• 6 slices stale bread
• 2 eggs
• 2/3 cup milk
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• pinch of salt to taste
• 1 tbsp sugar (or to taste)
• butter
• honey and/or jam (optional)

1. beat the eggs into a bowl and add sugar, salt, cinnamon, vanilla,nutmeg and milk
2. pour the egg mixture into a flat pan and soak the bread slices. You can completely soak or let it absorb only halfway, depending on desired taste and texture
3. heat the skillet to high and melt butter on it
4. when the butter sings, immediately put the soaked bread into the skillet
5. wait one minute to brown the bread and turn heat to low-medium to cook the inside without burning the outside
6. turn to high heat again and turn bread to other side
7. wait one minute to brown the other site and turn heat to low-medium
8. serve with butter, honey or jam

Tips:

• stale bread is desirable because it is harder and will keep its shape while soaked
• you can be adventurous and try other bread types - bagel, old pandesal, monay, etc.
• best to do the frying if you have a cast iron skillet

Ending Thoughts
To your French Toast, add fresh brewed coffee, Chopin in the background and play footsies with your breakfast partner across the table :) Best way to start the day!
