French Toast So Simple That Even My Hubby Can Make (A.K.A. Dad's French Toast)

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

  1. Whisk the eggs, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl
  2. Dip one piece of bread, making sure you really soak both sides well
  3. Melt the butter in a skillet and fry bread on medium/high heat, until the bread looks golden brown
  4. Repeat with each slice
  5. Enjoy with your favorite toppings! (powdered sugar and lemon is our favorite!)
