French Toast

  I don't know if people make French toast very often any more - even I tend to overlook it when I think of making a cooked breakfast.  But when I do remember to whip up a batch we are never disappointed with the golden, buttery results.  It is very simple to prepare: I beat up 4 eggs (to make 8 slices) in a square baking dish and add only a touch of milk (as with scrambled eggs, you don't want to dilute the flavour of the eggs).  I always add cinnamon, nutmeg, and a tiny pinch of cloves to the batter.  Then I dip the bread (usually whole wheat) quickly in the mixture - I don't like the bread to be soggy.  I grease my griddle with butter and give them a good few minutes per side so the slices get nice and golden.  While they are cooking, I add a dab of butter around each slice so it melts into the bread - that helps with the both the flavour and colour.  I serve them with peaches and pure maple syrup.  Soooo yummy!  You can wrap and freeze any leftovers too.
