Father's Day French Toast

 

This morning we had my husband's family over for a little brunch get together to celebrate Father's Day.  I wanted a meal that was quick to prepare and didn't require a lot of space in the fridge.  We had company on both Friday and Saturday so there wasn't much room in the fridge.  I decided on a fresh fruit spread, peameal bacon and cinnamon french toast.  The easiest meal EVER!  The kitchen gadget that made it all happen - - the flat griddle. If you don't have one I would suggest investing in one.  We use ours often for grilled sandwiches, bacon, eggs, pancakes etc.  It runs about $50 at Canadian Tire, Zellers, etc.

Yields: 4 slices (2 servings)

Ingredients
3 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
4 slices of bread
butter to grease griddle
powdered sugar to sprinkle on top

Method
Mix eggs, vanilla, sugar and cinnamon together.  Dip bread in egg mixture and coat lightly.  Cook on a greased griddle for 2 minutes on each side, or until browned slightly.  Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with REAL maple syrup.
