Simple French Toast

     If you have read any other post of my blog, you may be aware that I love breakfast.  All breakfast is delicious and should be eaten at all times of day!  They are all my favorite but one thing that I love to make and eat is french toast.  It's very easy and often overlooked by many home cooks.  It's quick and can be made with household ingredients without any crazy preparation.  Below is my standard french toast recipe.  I usually top it with fruit, sugar free syrup, and a dollop of fat free cool whip.  You can of course top them with whatever you like!  Enjoy.

Simple French Toast
Ingredients:
4 slices of bread, 2 per person (any style will do...I usually use whole wheat or whole grain because that's what I have on hand.  This is a great way to use any leftover "specialty" bread that you bought for a particular recipe.)
2 eggs
1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon
1/4 cup of milk

Directions:
In a bowl (big enough to dunk your bread), whisk together eggs, cinnamon, and milk.

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.  Spray a little non-stick for good measure.  You want the pan hot when the bread hits it to create the outer crust of tastiness.

Dunk each piece of bread, one at a time, in the egg mixture.  You're not making scrambled eggs, so let the excess drip off for a second.  Carefully place the bread down on the hot skillet.  After about 1-2 minutes, flip it over.  You should see a marble-y, golden color on each side.  As always, adjust for your taste!

Place your two pieces of (now) french toast on a plate and add your toppings.  Eat up!
