Sunday French Toast

I love Sunday mornings.  I like mornings in general, especially when I'm not working, and even more so in summertime; it's a fresh start with so many possibilities.  One of those possibilities, with so many more, is french toast.  There are many ways to make french toast, here is my super easy take on this tasty treat, requiring next to no planning.  You will need some crusty white bread, like french bread, or baguette, or crusty buns, which is what I used this time, because it's what I had on hand.  I had 4 crusty buns, almost like mini baguettes, and didn't want them to go to waste, so I used 3 to make french toast and one I let dry out and it will become bread crumbs.

All you need is:
- some white crusty bread, whole wheat or grain types won't work; I tried once, since they're ok as sandwiches, but imo they make for bleh french toast
- whole milk, or you can even use cream; I use whole pasteurized, but not homogenized milk
- egg(s) depending on how much you're making, I usually go by how many people I'm making for, 2 people = 2 eggs
- vanilla extract (don't use the fake stuff, be good to your taste buds; real extract may cost more, but you'll use less, so it'll last just as long if not longer)
- cinnamon
- unsalted butter, because it has a sweetness of its own, so it compliments and enhances the flavour

You can never go wrong with butter or ghee, it won't alter or take away from any flavour, but it will make everything taste better.  If you still think butter's somehow unhealthy, you probably shouldn't be here.

These are the eggs I recently discovered.  They're from a small hobby farm, $2.50 a dozen!  I went by yesterday, but they only had 1 dozen duck eggs left.  Of course I got them, eggs are eggs, and duck eggs have even more omega fats than chicken ones; the yolks were orange, and delicious.

Mix all your ingredients, except the bread, which you'll dunk into the mixture.

Whisk the ingredients together, with a fork or a whisk.

Melt some butter in a pan, et voila.

 Here it is with some maple syrup:

Sometimes I like my french toast with various fruit or even whipped cream, but often times I eat it plain or with maple syrup, which I crave regularly.

E Güeter!  (Alsatian)
