Day 41: Vanilla French Toast

So after making my syrup I HAD to make binner a few days later.  Mr J was going to be working during dinner so I thought it would be the best day to make french toast....plus the syrup has been calling my name.

I thought the best thing to go with the syrup would be french toast....but I didn't want to make the usual run of the mill french toast, it needed to be "fancy".  So I found a recipe for vanilla french toast.  This recipe has the same basic ingredients as usual FT, but a few added items.

The original recipe can be found at www.recipe.com (search vanilla french toast)

Ingredients:
4 eggs
1 c half-and-half or light cream
2 Tbsp sugar
2 tsp vanilla (I added a little extra)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
8 slices dry white or wheat bread
2 Tbsp butter or vegetable oil

Step 1:  In a shallow bowl or pan, beat together eggs, half and half, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg.

Step 2:  In a very large skillet or on a griddle, melt butter over medium heat.

Step 3:  Dip the bread slices into the egg mixture, coating both sides.  (I cut Little T's slice into "sticks" because its more kid friendly.)

Step 4:  Add bread slices, cook for 4-6 minutes or until golden brown, turning once.  Serve with warm syrup

Looks amazing doesn't it?!?  Give the syrup and "fancy" french toast a try

I am rating this recipe a 5...its like the usually french toast with a few special spices and paired with the syrup it REALLY reminds me of a delicous caramel rolls!!
