AN AMAZINGLY EASY FRENCH TOAST RECIPE

Steps:

• First, you're going to add 1 cup of milk into a bowl. Or in my case a clear casserole dish, because it will be easier to dip your bread into the mixture.
• Next, add in two large eggs to your milk.
• After you've added in your milk, and eggs, you will add 1 teaspoon of sugar.
• Lastly, you will add 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla flavoring.
• Then, you will whisk all your ingredients together.
• After you've finished whisking, this is what your mixture will look like.
• Now that you've created your French Toast mixture it's time to actually cook your French toast. As I mentioned earlier, I'm using honey wholewheat bread, but you can pretty much use any bread of your choice.
• Always remember to butter your pan or griddle whichever you prefer to use.
• Now I'm going to dip my bread into my mix.
• Remember, do not allow your bread to soak into the mixture for long. You do not want your bread to become soggy.
• Next, I'm going to place my bread four slices at a time on my griddle.
• You will cook your bread for about three-five minutes on each side, or until it reaches your desired crispness.
• Once my French toast is finished I place it on my cutting board, and cut it in halves.
• After I cook my French toast, I put it on a plate and began to add my fresh strawberries, powdered sugar, and syrup.
• This part is totally optionally, you can add powdered sugar to your delicious French toast.
• After you've have topped your French toast with strawberries and powdered sugar, the only thing missing is your syrup and fork.
