One of the first recipes my kids learnt to cook was French Toast. The thought and smell of it bring back memories of my B1 toddling over to the cupboard to pull out the big silver mixing bowl to make the mix comes every time. A mix of pride and hot burning as the lump raises in my throat even now as I think of him as a baby and how much I desperately love him brings me to tears, french toast will forever do it to me, it’s the neurotic in me.
French toast provides just the right amount of cracking of eggs, stirring of mix and sizzling for a kids first recipe. It’s quick and the mess is minimal perfect for the developing motor skills and shortened attention span.
French Toast can be a savoury or sweet affair. It can be eaten for breakfast or as dinner. Its one of those classics you can do with what you like.
French Toast.
What you will need:
1/3 cup low-fat milk
8 slices toast sliced bread
4 eggs
crumbled Philly cheese {optional}
How to:
Whisk eggs, philly and milk in a bowl. Heat a non-stick frying pan on medium. Dip a slice of bread into egg mixture to coat both sides. Cook for 1-2 mins each side, until golden. Repeat with remaining bread and egg mixture.
Traditionally French Toast is served with Maple syrup but in our house BBQ or Tomato Sauce rains supreme.
