It's A French Toast Kind of Morning

Hello OEaters! Your trusty food girl here to bring you some more recipes. This morning I have for you some delicious French Toast that is sure to make even the dullest of Sunday mornings feel bright and special. So as Spring approaches, let's celebrate the sunshine and start anew...

French Toast

yield: 5-6 pieces of French Toast depending on how thick you slice them

Ingredients

1 loaf FRESH Challah bread (Best if baked that morning)

1 cup goat's milk (I prefer goat's milk but if you don't like the taste feel free to substitute with cow's milk)

5 eggs

2 tablespoons vanilla extract

1/4 cup organic cane sugar

1-2 pinches of salt

2 tablespoons butter

Directions

1. Slice bread in nice, thick slices. The key here is that they're thick enough to get a good bite but thin enough to be able to soak through.

2. Combine milk, eggs, vanilla extract, cane sugar and salt in a large bowl

3. Place bread slices in bowl. Using a spatula, pat down the bread then flip over and pat down the other side until bread is completely soggy and soaked through (this is SUPER important! Nothing worse than French Toast improperly made and dry in the middle. It may be that if your bowl is not big enough you divide the batter into two bowls just to make sure every piece is soaked through...)

4. As the bread is soaking... get a skillet going on medium high heat and allow butter to melt.

5. Once butter is melted, place bread in skillet and allow to cook until brown then flip over and cook other side (probably about 4-5 minutes on each side.)

6. Serve with some Grade A maple syrup, a little powdered sugar dusted on top (I prefer organic brown sugar sprinkled on top but whatever your heart desires,) cut up some bananas, get some nice coffee roasting and say it with me: GOOD MORNING SPRINGTIME!

Yours,
