now on to a tasty breakfast classic. Texas Toast size bread is perfect for making French Toast. Pick up a loaf of thick-sliced white bread Texas Toast at this 99c only Store and make a stack. Continuing a month-long breakfast blogging theme, The Chef combines his earlier "Egg Nog & A Tipsy Tree Trimming" Christmas themed video recipe (click here to view video) with this warm and toasty breakfast favorite. You can use your preferred French bread recipe, just add a little of the spices: nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla extract for a festive egg nog flavor.Ingredients (serves 2-3)
4-6 slices of bread (or any type you have on hand including wheat or whole grain)
1/2 cup milk
3 eggs1 tsp. sugar (optional - no sugar needed if you are topping with syrup)Butter - a couple slices for frying French toast
Dip and coat both sides of bread, allowing to soak through with egg nog wash. Cook until French toast is brown, about a couple of minutes each side. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and top with maple syrup. For a lighter version, forgo sugar and syrup and top with fresh cut strawberries, any seasonal fruit, or canned sliced peaches and pears in natural or lightly sweetened juice.
