What the French, Toast?!

What the French, Toast?!

French Toast. A crowd pleaser and, in my opinion, an overlooked breakfast food. Why do we always reach for waffles and pancakes when french toast exists?? It is easy to make and less clean-up, and in my opinion that is a win-win.

I used a Butterfly Cookie Cutter from Target for a fun Spring breakfast!

When we were younger, my Mom always made a big breakfast on Saturday mornings. Eggs, waffles, egg sandwiches, hash browns – the possibilities were endless. Because we were making such a large quantity we all were given “tasks”. Someone poured OJ, someone scrambled the eggs, and the least favorite was always being assigned Toast duty. You had to toast the bread on one side of the kitchen and walk to the other side to butter it, all while making sure you did not burn the next batch. Plus, you had to wait until everyone ate (FYI – teenage boys are late risers) to be done with your job. Looking back now, I would have gladly volunteered for French Toast duty. It is in one location, and its easy – dunk, cook, flip, and voila!!

Notes

This recipe is fun and easy. I often cut my bread in to fun shapes before placing into  the egg mixture as a fun “surprise”. And don’t worry. The pieces that I cut off to form the shapes get eaten as french toast”dunking” sticks as well.
