French Toast: The Perfect Way to Start Your Day

French toast is a dish of sliced bread soaked in a mixture of beaten eggs, milk, and often sugar and spices, then pan-fried. It is typically served for breakfast or brunch, and can be topped with a variety of sweet or savory accompaniments, such as syrup, powdered sugar, fruit, or bacon.

Here is a recipe for classic French toast:

Ingredients:

• 6 slices of bread (preferably day-old)
• 1 cup milk
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Butter or cooking oil, for frying

Instructions:

1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
2. Dip each slice of bread in the egg mixture, turning to coat both sides.
3. Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Melt a little butter or oil in the pan.
4. Add a slice of bread to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining slices of bread.
5. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.

Here are some tips for making French toast:

• Use day-old bread, as it will soak up more of the egg mixture and be less likely to fall apart.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan, or the bread will not cook evenly.
• Cook the French toast over medium heat, so that the outside gets golden brown without burning.
• Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Enjoy!
