French Toast

French Toast originally known as "pain perdu" means lost bread; stale bread that might have been otherwise thrown away. There are so many variations to this recipe, stuffing or topping with different things. I prefer just the basic old french toast topped with Maple syrup, no fancy shenanigans! So next time you think its just "easier" to pack the family up in the mom-van to go out for breakfast, think again.....save money and stay home! This recipe is so incredibly easy you'll be kicking yourself for having paid someone to make it for you! Bon Appetit!

French Toast

1 Large Loaf French bread (stale & crusty)

4 Eggs

2 Cups Milk

dash of salt

2 Tbsp Sugar

2 tsp vanilla extract

dash of cinnamon

dash of nutmeg

  • Pre-heat griddle or skillet on medium-low heat
  • In a medium bowl, Beat the eggs lightly and stir in remaining ingredients. Slice the bread.
  • Add some butter to the griddle coating surface evenly. Dip bread slices into liquid mixture, turning to coat evenly. Place on griddle and cook until nicely browned on either side. Serve immediately.

*Note you can use any type of bread: Brioche, Italian, or even regular sliced bread. Just remember its best to use stale bread as fresh bread will just be soggy in the middle.
