One of the Easiest Breakfast Foods - French Toast

This is my favorite food for breakfast, and it's so easy to make too. All you'll need is a loaf of bread and a few eggs, the rest is optional. For the bread, most people like to use just plain white bread. My favorite bread to use is Pepperidge Farm's Cinnamon Swirl Bread, or for another twist, their Cinnamon Raisin Bread. Sometimes I like to add a little vanilla extract to the eggs and put the cinnamon on top of the bread.

Anyway, first you take your pan and set it to medium heat to get it nice and hot. Then beat the eggs (about one large egg for two pieces of bread), I like to beat them in a cup, then pour them onto a plate, because it's easier to get the egg onto the bread, but a bowl works fine too.

Then all you have to do is coat the pieces of bread with the egg, and right before you put them in the pan, add a little bit of butter to keep them from sticking. This is the part where I add a dash of cinnamon, but it's optional.

Let it cook for a little bit, if you're unsure about when to flip it, look at the edges; there should be a little extra egg, when that cooks it's a good time to flip. Don't worry about flipping it too soon, because you can always flip it back over to cook some more. When they're done, serve with syrup, fresh fruit, or just eat plain.

And remember, if you get distracted, or have to walk away from the stove, remember to turn off the burner, and if you're not sure how long you'll be gone for, take your pan off the burner so it doesn't continue to cook as much. Enjoy!
