French Toast Isn't French

Back in February during orientation week at Univerity of Limerick, I met 2 girls from Paris. I learned that French toast did not originate in France. I actually knew that, but in case there were any doubts, you heard it from authentic French girls ;) I didn't realize how much I missed this breakfast item until my housemates made it for brunch one day.


French Toast




4 slices of bread
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
Few shakes of cinnamon
Few shakes of nutmeg
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract (optional - we didn't have any in the house)
Syrup
Butter

1. Whisk egg, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla in a big bowl until blended.

2. Dip one slice of bread into egg mixture, coating both sides. Don't let the bread soak too long or it'll fall apart. Place into heated skillet. Cook until brown on one side; flip. Cook until brown.

3. Repeat step 2 with each slice.

4. Serve with butter and syrup.
