French Toast

When I was growing up, my dad would sometimes make special breakfasts for us on Saturdays or Sundays. It was usually french toast, eggs, and any breakfast meat we had in the fridge. It was always a treat. After I got married, french toast lost its appeal for some reason. I don't know if I just got sick of it or if my taste buds changed, but it never sounded good to me. Adam tried different ways to make it and his recipe has changed over time. He has finally hit the jackpot. I can't get enough of it. We probably have french toast, eggs and bacon for dinner once a week (don't you love breakfast for dinner?).

Now that we have found recipe gold, we want to share the wealth for all you french toast lovers (and the rest of you too- you may just change your mind!).

Here it is:

1/3 cup milk

4 eggs

¾ tsp. vanilla

1/8 tsp. cloves

1/8 tsp. nutmeg

¼ tsp. allspice

½ Tbsp. cinnamon

½ Tbsp. powdered sugar

½ Tbsp. brown sugar

about 8 slices of bread

---Mix it all together and put bread in mixture for about 3 seconds, then flip bread and get the other side for about 3 seconds. Side note- we like to use moist thick bread. We are wheat people but for french toast, we usually use white or Italian. Put the french toast on the griddle until it is "toasty" then flip and do the same on the other side.

Another side note- if you are one who likes to smother your french toast with peanut butter (this probably only applies to people in my family) don't even bother making these. The peanut butter taste pretty much covers the goodness of this recipe. Butter and syrup are the way to go with this perfect french toast.

Sorry we don't have pictures. We had it for dinner tonight but who wants to wait to take pictures before you eat it? Not me.

Once you try out the recipe, let us know what you think.
