French Toast - Made Simple

French Toast is one of the easiest and most yummy breakfasts to make. Growing up I was spoiled with pancakes in all the shapes of my favorite stuffed animals, baby blanket when requested, and other fun designs. They were thin, perfect, and always new warm ones were being freshly buttered on my plate.

Pancakes are too hard for a lazy morning. So I have been working to perfect the lazy woman's substitute for pancakes. French Toast, it was a fun start to Christmas Eve Day's breakfast:

The Shopping List:
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 loaf of bread (challah bread is the best!)
  • 2 pinches of salt, literally.
  • 1 tablespoon of water
  • Butter
Putting it Together:
  1. Slice the bread if unsliced.
  2. Crack the eggs and add the salt and water and whip them together.
  3. Heat up your skillet to a medium hot and put some butter in the pan, a small slice so the whole pan with get a nice thin film.
  4. Quickly dredge each slice of bread and quickly add the the pan - BE CAREFUL - do not let the butter brown in the before adding the dredged slices.
  5. Sprinkle cinnomin on the tops of bread before flipping.
  6. Flip the bread after a minute or two and it gets a ice golden color on the bottom. You can take a peek to check.
  7. Top with butter and syrup if desired (and recommended).
