A breakfast classic! This is by far the most requested breakfast item in our house. The children love the flavor and mommy loves that it is a way to regularly enjoy our hen’s bounty whilst frugally reclaiming stale bread that would otherwise be thrown away.
- 1 slice of your favorite bread (We use a whole grain for weekday breakfasts, broiche or other egg-based bread for the occasional fancy weekend brunch, and most importantly to use up whatever bread that has gone stale)
- 1 egg
- 1-3 Tbsp milk (This depends on the size of the egg, the staleness of the bread, and your own preference)
- dash of cinnamon
- 1 pat of butter
- drizzle of local honey and/or maple syrup (Use this to serve atop the finished french toast and/or mix it into the egg mixture prior to cooking)
Scramble together the egg, milk, cinnamon and optional honey/syrup. Add bread and allow to soak up the liquid. In a pan heated to medium low, melt the butter and then add the toast. Cover. Cook until golden browned on each side, flipping once. Serve warm.
