Savory French Toast

Submitted by MommyMakes

"For butter lovers, and those who don't like too sweet for breakfast. You can eliminate the milk if desired, it is mostly used to stretch the egg mixture."

 

• Ready In: 17mins
• Ingredients: 5
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 8 eggs
• 1⁄4 - 1⁄2 cup milk (optional)
• 8 slices Texas toast thick bread or 8 slices bread
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 8 8 tablespoons strawberry jam or 8 tablespoons powdered sugar, for serving

directions

1. In a large, shallow bowl crack eggs and add milk as desired to create enough egg mixture to saturate 8 pieces of texas toast. Whip the mixture with a fork until combined.
2. Heat a griddle or frying pan to medium high heat.
3. Soak 1 or 2 pieces of toast fully with egg mixture, flipping in the bowl to fully saturate each piece.
4. Meanwhile melt approx 1 tsp of butter in the spot of each piece of toast, as soon as it melts place piece of toast in the spot.
5. Watch toast carefully and when the down side is getting brown, flip the toast to cook opposite side, it shouldn't take very long if your pan is hot.
6. Once both pieces are fully cooked and browned transfer to a plate and serve, two pieces topped with about a tbsp of soft butter, serve with syrup or jam as desired, I like mine with just the butter.
7. Repeat steps 3 on until all toast is cooked.

[Burned Toast]

These were yummy! Assembly was quick and easy. I used a griddle, so cooking time was probably cut in half. I did use 1/2 c milk, and I had enough liquid for the entire loaf of bread - 16 slices! We'll have some leftovers for busy school mornings. I added a smidge of vanilla (needed to use it up) and several shakes of cinnamon to the liquid mixture before adding the bread. I can't say it made a huge improvement because this was delicious no matter what. I'd recommend these to anyone who wants a quick French toast recipe that works...I've never made French toast with any success before. Thank you!
