Easy French Toast - 4 slices

Adapted from McCormick's


I double the ingredients below for the two of us. However, I keep them in separate shallow dishes so that I end up with 4 vanilla-cinnamon flavored slices, and 4 orange-water slices (also recently discovered using almond extract is delicious)

Ingredients:
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (also can use 1/2 tsp Almond Extract, or 1/2 tsp of Orange Water or Rose Water)
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup milk (alternative milks are fine)
  • 4 slices of bread*
    • *Slices from medium loaf of French or Italian sourdough are DELICIOUS; seeded is fine
    • *If bread is too moist or floppy, lightly toast in oven or toaster oven before dipping in egg mixture
Instructions:
  1. Beat egg, vanilla, and cinnamon in a shallow dish. Stir in milk.
  2. Dip bread in egg mixture, turning to coat both sides evently
  3. Cook bread slices on a lightly greased nonstick griddle or skillet on Medium Heat until browned on both sides.
  4. Serve with syrup, powdered sugar, and additional butter if desired
