One of my favorite foods to make is French toast. The ingredients needed are 4 slices of bread, 3 eggs, 1/2 cup of milk, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, butter, and a fruit topping. First, the eggs, milk, cinnamon and vanilla extract are whisked together in a bowl. Next, each slice of bread is dipped in the egg mixture to coat both sides. Then, the bread slices are placed in a hot, greased skillet and cooked until brown and crispy on each side. Finally, the French toast is served with the choice of fruit or syrup. I love French toast for breakfast or dinner because it tastes like dessert.
