French Toast Two Ways!

French Toast is a huge comfort food to me. I learned how to make it very young, and have been making it for years. I love making it for my family, and my Hubby loves for me to make it even more! I have two ways to make it. The first is a sweet way, and the second is how I was told my Great Grandma made it. Both ways are delicious, and always make for a happy belly. If I wasn't suppose to be eating bread, I would eat a whole loaf of this stuff. It's that good. It's very common in West Virginia where I come from, but a lot of my new friends and family down here in Florida don't know how to make it! So here it is! (: 

Ingredients for the sweet way (makes 2 servings):

2 large eggs

A splash of milk

A splash of vanilla extract

Few dashes of cinnamon

Wish together the eggs and milk and make sure there's no clumps of eggs. You want to get it as smooth as possible so you're not just cooking eggs on top of a piece of bread. Mix in the cinnamon and vanilla and place a piece of bread in the mixture. Flip the bread on each side until it is evenly coated. Place in your greased pan over medium heat. I like to coat my pan in butter so it gets a pretty color and little bit of a crisp! You don't want to cook it too hot or the egg will instantly burn. Cook on each side until golden brown, and immediately top with some butter so it's nice and melted and soaked in while you make the rest of the french toast. Top with hot syrup and maybe even some powdered sugar.

This is what the mixture should look like -

Look at this yummy deliciousness!!

This makes two servings, but of course just one for my Hubby. I swear, I'm waiting for the day he blows up like a balloon. He still wasn't full after this.... Note: you'll want to add the powdered sugar first before the syrup or it will just absorb into the powdered sugar, causing you to not see it. And if you're like me, you'll add way too much! So if you're using powdered sugar, add it first! Also, one egg will make two pieces of bread. So say you're making breakfast for 5 people...you'll want to use 5 eggs to make 10 pieces of toast.

Ingredients for Grandma's toast (serves one):

One large egg

Splash of milk

Dash of salt

Few dashes of black pepper

Cook this exactly like the previous version. The mix should look like this:

This was MY plate since I'm TRYING to eat better.... LOL

So yummy and golden brown, and soaked in delicious butter. Yuuummmm!

This is easy to make healthier. You could use different milk, bread, butter, and eggs. Like wheat bread, skim milk, organic eggs, and fresh real butter. Could also serve with sugar free syrup. Make it your own and top it with yummy fruits or Nutella. Even peanut butter is wonderful!

Try it out and tell me how you like it! (:
