French Toast

I seem to be lacking in my recipe posting lately, so tonight, I'll be posting a few of our family favorites.

This recipe came from the Better Homes and Garden's Cookbook.  Growing up, my mother's copy was like the cooking Bible.  As I grew older, I learned it was her mother's cooking Bible as well.  When I moved out, my parents bought me this coveted book.  It's still a well loved resource, but mostly for this one recipe.

French Toast


Ingredients:

4 eggs (beaten)
1 cup milk
2 tbsp sugar
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
Bread of your choice (I like to use homemade bread, but pretty much any kind will do.)
Butter or cooking spray

Directions:

1.  In a shallow bowl ( I like to use a pie plate normally) beat together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
2.  Dip bread slices into the egg mixture coating both sides.  If you are using a thick or dense bread, I recommend letting it soak for a minute
3.  In a skillet or on a griddle melt enough butter to coat the bottom of the pan or spray with cooking spray.
4.  Put bread slices in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
5.  Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have used all of the bread.
Serve warm.
We like ours with butter and syrup, it's also really good with homemade apple pie filling.

The weather..... It appears that Spring has sprung...  Some nice spring storms and mostly warmer weather. Right now I am....
