I’ve always followed the recipe for French Toast that I found here.
I wanted to experiment a little with the recipe this morning and it turned out super yummy!
A little cinnamon and a little vanilla paired with some good ole’ fashioned maple syrup added the perfect sweetness that I was craving.
This is one of the easiest breakfast recipes…you can whip it all together in less than 5 minutes!
Cinnamon-Vanilla French Toast
Ingredients:
4 eggs
1-2 tsp sugar
a dash of salt
1 cup of milk
8 slices of bread
1/2-1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
butter
maple syrup
Instructions
Place a iron skillet on burner. Place 2 tsp of butter into skillet and turn on medium.
Mix eggs, sugar, salt, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract with a whisk in a shallow pie dish.
Dip bread into the mixture , flip over to the other side and make sure bread is moist on both sides.
Place bread into skillet and wait for a few minutes.
Flip bread over and cook on the other side. {We like ours well done, so we usually leave it in the skillet for about 2-3 minutes per side}
Remove from skillet and serve with butter and maple syrup.
Makes enough for 4-5 people.
Oh yum! You just made me very hungry! I adore French toast and still make it now and then. I use Dave’s Killer Bread that is totally super healthy and low sugar jams or sugar free syrup. I have two cast iron skillets I specifically bought just for French Toast. I remember my childhood days when mom would make her version in cast iron. Nothing browns the French Toast like well seasoned cast iron. Thanks for the post. – Bob
Your exactly right…that’s why I only use the skillet for making my French Toast!! =)
