Real Food Forever

What came first: French toast or French toast sticks?

French ToastSince we had raisins, I tried a cinnamon bread recipe in the bread maker yesterday which did not turn out (surprise!), but I sliced it up for dinner today to make French toast. Apparently I never made French toast before for these kids because my son commented that our dinner tasted, “like French toast sticks.” I explained to him that the things they serve at school called French toast sticks were actually made to taste like this — real French toast.

You probably know how to make this already so I won’t do a formal recipe, but just whisk eggs as if you were going to scramble them (1 or 2), with a tad of milk. You can sprinkle in some nutmeg or cinnamon if you want. Dip the bread in the egg mixture then put it on a griddle or oiled frying pan until brown. If you want it to look fancier, sift some powdered sugar over the top.
