French Toast

Megan recently reminded us of Mom's french toast. Breakfast was often an on-your-own meal, but sometimes Mom would make french toast. Mom would especially make french toast for Noah. Mom recently said that it was her attempt to diversify Noah's diet, which primarily consisted of mac & cheese and M&Ms. I doubt french toast actually adds much diversity to such a diet. But french toast sure tastes good.

French toast is made from simple ingredients that are probably sitting around your house--bread, eggs, milk, a little sugar. Other ingredients could be used to fancy up the french toast. MDS and I recently had french toast at Mexique in Chicago, which used a tequila and orange mix to make french toast. Next time I make french toast, I think I may try to recreate that tasty blend. For this french toast, I stuck to the basics.

French Toast

• 6 slices of bread
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons of milk
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• maple syrup

Spray a skillet with non-stick cooking spray and heat on medium heat. Meanwhile, beat the eggs and add the milk and sugar. Dredge each piece of bread through the egg mixture and coat each side of the bread. Place the bread on the skillet. Cook each side of the bread until brown, about 5 minutes.

Serve with maple syrup. Enjoy!
