Simple French Toast

It's not very often that I make breakfast but when I do, French Toast is definitely one of our favorites.  It's simple and fast plus you get to put all of that ooey-gooey-sugary-yummy syrup on it.  And I put a little something extra in ours just to make it that much better.

Ingredients

• 8 pieces of bread (White)
• 4 large eggs
• 1 Tbsp milk
• 1/2 Tbsp flour (to help thicken batter)
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 pinch ground cloves
• 1 pinch nutme
• 1 Tbsp butter

Instructions

1. In medium bowl scramble eggs then add milk, flour and spices and mix together.  Pour eggs into a pie pan to easily dip bread.
2. Heat skillet and melt butter.
3. Place 1 piece of bread into batter and coat evenly on both sides.
4. Place bread on skillet and fry evenly on both sides.
5. Serve with choice of toppings.

Topping Suggestions

• Syrup (of course)
• Strawberries or other berries with whip cream
• Peanut butter
• Plain with a little melted butter (without the butter you can wrap a paper napkin around it and take it on the go)
• Powdered sugar
• Raisins
• Bananas (with chocolate chips is even better)
• Scoop of vanilla icecream
• Any combination of the above or anything else you can think of.

Bread Suggestions
You can really use any bread that you like or have in the bread box.  If it's a little bit stale it works even better.

• French bread
• Sourdough
• Wheat
• Left over dinner rolls
