French Toast

French Toast is a quick way of having a delicious and filling breakfast. When I used to go to school my mom used to make something similar to it for my mid morning munch break. It was more on the savory side with bread being coated with a spicy egg mixture. I used to enjoy that too. 

French toast is mildly sweet and becomes sweeter when enjoyed with maple syrup or honey. Mostly breakfast for us is a savory affair. But occasionally we enjoy French toast, whole wheat pancakes/ waffles and bajil (a spicy sweet mangalorean snack) on the sweeter side. Let me share with you the recipe for French Toast, our occasional piece of morning sweetness.

Ingredients:

• 8 -1/4" to 1/2"slices of 2-3 day old bread (whole wheat, challah bread)
• 4 eggs
• 2/3 cup milk
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp sugar
• maple syrup to serve

Directions:

• In a bowl, beat eggs and milk till well blended. Do not over beat.
• Add salt and sugar and mix well.
• Dip each bread slice in the bowl for around 20 secs on each side and put it on a hot skillet on stove top.
• You can use butter to fry it on each side but if you use a non stick pan you can omit the butter.
• Fry well till both sides brown up and eggs are set well.
• You can serve French toast with butter, maple syrup or honey according to your preference.
• Enjoy it warm.
