Quick and Easy French Toast

I love this simple recipe. I think the ratio is perfect and easy to double. Sometimes I use Coffee-mate Natural Bliss Vanilla creamer instead of milk and vanilla extract. I have also tried using Coldstone Creamery's caramel flavored Milkshaker drink in place of the milk and vanilla. It was AMAZING. I'm currently experimenting with other creamers and drinks. Also, egg size can make a difference. I use large eggs and Texas toast bread.

My secret for perfectly cooked French toast is to cook it in a small frying pan, just the right size for one slice of bread. Temp shouldn't be too high, maybe just under medium depending on your oven. Each piece should take around 5 minutes or so to cook. The other half of the secret is to cook your toast with a LID. You want the lid on the whole time unless you're checking it or flipping it. It's okay to check it by lifting a corner with your spatula. Frying with a lid gives your pan an oven effect while frying so your toast cooks in the center as well. I get perfect French toast every time this way. Then while cooking the rest I keep them warm in my oven in a large casserole dish or ceramic plate. My oven has a "warm" setting. If yours doesn't the temp is between 150 and 200°F. Just check to make sure they aren't drying out before serving. That's why I use a large casserole dish if I'm making a lot so I can cover the toast so it doesn't dry out. I do this for pancakes as well and a plate for waffles. Good luck!

I omitted the vanilla extract. To make this even better if you can find cold stone creamery sweet cream coffee creamer instead of milk it will make this 100 percent over the top. After you brown on both sides put in the 400°F oven for 10 mins.

Great recipe when you want a quick, hot breakfast that's not from the freezer. My 7 year old has requested this 2 or 3 times a week since the first time I made it.

Yield: 2 slices with this ratio. Good for a quick "what goes into French Toast again" breakfast.
