Breakfast during the week just doesn't seem to happen for me. I'm lucky if I get out the door with a banana in my hand. But come Saturday morning ( or afternoon, depends on when I wake up!), breakfast is calling my name. This weekend my husband pleasantly surprised me by offering to make breakfast...french toast to be precise. Now I knew this could either be really easy for him, or really, really difficult...I mean, the man can't even flip a pancake, bless his heart. The key to making it easy yet wonderfully gourmet is simple ingredients. I gave him my father's recipe. I grew up eating this french toast. My dad made it every Sunday after church. And guess what, it was a success, my husband can make it too! Not only is it super easy and fast to stir up, it's absolutely delicious! Enjoy!
Ingredients:
Four pieces of thickly sliced sourdough bread
Six eggs
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
1 TBS butter
- Whisk the eggs, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl
- Dip one piece of bread, making sure you really soak both sides well
- Melt the butter in a skillet and fry bread on medium/high heat, until the bread looks golden brown
- Repeat with each slice
- Enjoy with your favorite toppings! (powdered sugar and lemon is our favorite!)
