Simple Fare, Fairly Simple

I'm not much of a breakfast person...but if I DO eat it, I tend to gravitate to pancakes or french toast...muffins or bagels...that sort of thing. Most of the time when I cook breakfast, it's for dinner. So the other night when I couldn't think of anything else to make for dinner, I decided to make french toast. On a whim, I added some brown sugar. I've added granulated sugar from time to time but adding the brown sugar was the way to go! I told IT Guy that this was the best french toast I'd ever had in my life. It didn't need any syrup...but I'm nobody's fool...I added it anyway. But man-oh-man...was this ever tasty!!!

Brown Sugar French Toast

 

3 eggs
1/2 cup to 3/4 cup half and half
1 teaspoon vanilla
dash salt
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 loaf french bread, sliced 1/2 thick
butter for the pan

In a baking dish, beat the eggs with the half and half, vanilla and salt. Stir in the brown sugar.

Lay a few slices of bread in the egg mixture and allow it to soak for 3 - 5 minutes, flipping once halfway through.

Heat a large skillet on medium heat and melt some butter in the hot skillet.

Add the soaked bread and cook until golden brown. Flip to brown the other side.

Place on a cookie sheet and keep in a warm oven until all the bread is cooked.

Serve with maple syrup.

Here's the stuff for the yummiest 

french toast on the planet.

 Both sides.
