so simple, so delicious - perfect for christmas day or any day. Ingredients:
1 cup 2% low-fat milk |
4 large eggs |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
6 slices french bread |
1/4 cup canola oil |
Directions:
1. Cut the french bread about 1/2 to 3/4 inches thick.
2. Whisk together the 1 cup of milk, the 4 large eggs, the 1 Tbsp of sugar, the 1 tsp of vanilla extract, and 1/4 tsp of salt.
3. If desired, can add about 1 tbsp of orange zest for some extra zing.
4. Place the bread in the mixture, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Depending on how old the bread is, it may need to soak in the mixture a little more. When it's done soaking, check to make sure it is heavy but not falling apart.
5. Heat up a frying pan. When the frying pan is hot, then add about 1/4 cup of canola oil or any vegetable oil.
6. Fry the slices about 1-2 minutes or so on each side, until it's brown, maybe a little longer if you like it crispier. (I like mine burnt).
7. When the toast is done, put on a plate that has paper towels to sop up the oil. Sprinkle with a little sugar and cinnamon and eat with maple syrup or whatever syrup is on hand.
