the basics: FRENCH TOAST MIX

Throughout all the years of teaching kids how to cook for themselves, I think this might be my most:

1) written down by a pre-teen and learning-how-to-cook recipe
AND
2) texted instructions/recipe to my older-left-the-house-kids 

I know I have said out loud each time: just memorize it!  

So, is this blog post for them because they never did memorize it; or is it for all of you who never got to write it down on a 4X6 card as an 8 year old??  

No matter.

...It will just be here for ALL of you from your Mama Jo.


NOTE:  the amount listed is for about 3-4 people eating.  Half/Double/Triple/Quadruple as needed for the number of eaters you may be cooking for.

Gather up:

cinnamon
Mexican vanilla
eggs
heavy whipping cream OR whole milk
sliced bread - great news: old is best! 
(and you'll want 2-3 slices of bread per person)
cooking spray or butter



Pre-heat over a medium heat your desired skillet (remember to use cooking spray or butter!)


COMBINE in a large bowl or a shallow dish:

4 eggs 
2 TABLESPOONS of Heavy Whipping Cream or whole milk
1 teaspoon Mexican vanilla
cinnamon sprinkled on the entire above combination 


Mix vigorously with a fork or flat bottomed whisk until the egg whites are no longer clumpy.

Dredge bread slices through your mixture on both sides until there are no dry spots.

Cook both sides until a toasty golden brown, flipping as needed.

Serve hot with any of the following topping ideas:
(OR NONE cuz it is great on its own!)

buttermilk syrup
maple syrup
nutella
powder sugar
jam
fresh fruit
peanut butter
almond butter
apple sauce
mini chocolate chips
toasted pecans
