French Toast

I love french toast.  In fact, I have loved french toast since I was a little girl.  The buttery sweet taste of egg, toast and syrup is undeniably one of my favorite flavors to this day.  So, you can imagine that I have spent a lot of time figuring out how to make it my own.  Well, the main way that I like to make this simple recipe is by using Texas toast.  These thick slices of bread make it much more like restaurant style, and who doesn't like that.  No if you don't have a grocer in your area that offers plain Texas toast in the bread aisle or bakery, you can substitute with a hearty loaf of sourdough to get a similar rustic appeal.  Keep in mind, if you use a thinner type of bread, you will not need as many eggs

Ingredients:

12 pieces of Texas toast (or any bread type you choose)
8-10 eggs
1/4 cup ground cinnamon
1 stick of butter (8 tablespoons)

Garnishings:

Powdered sugar
Butter
Syrup

Directions:

1. Heat your skillet to medium and melt 1-2 tablespoon butter.  Take eggs and the ground cinnamon and whisk them together in a large bowl with a wide lip.
2. Dip bread into egg mixture, one piece at a time, coating thoroughly, and place in the frying pan to cook.  Cook until desired golden color and remove from the pan.  Repeat this process until all of your bread has been used.  Garnish with your favorite toppings and serve.  Makes an easy and delicious breakfast for your
family.
