After sending my brother the
blondies, I was left with an almost full loaf of white bread. While its good for a few Thanksgiving leftover sandwiches, there were only so many leftovers! Next best thing to do with white sandwich bread? FRENCH TOAST, cheap bread style. It was a great way to use up the whole milk, too.

and then gave it all a big stir.

| Ready for bread |
One by one, I added the sliced bread to the bowl and let it soak up all the goodness.

I then added the bread packed with goodness to a non-stick pan that I had spritzed some PAM on and cooked the bread over medium heat until each side was nice and brown.

| Toasting |
Voilà - french toast, cheap bread style! So much of the cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla soaked into the bread that it almost looked like I used wheat bread.

| French Toast |
This was such an easy breakfast and a great way to use up a brunch of bread rather than just making a boat load of breadcrumbs! While definitely not true french toast, this was not a bad substitute.
Anyone else have fun flavor combinations for french toast?
This is an easy/cheap dish that I don't make NEARLY enough. Maybe next week when I am on my pseudo-vacation!
ReplyDeleteI like that, cheap bread style ;) There's nothing like good old french toast
ReplyDeleteI love simple French toast like this; it reminds me of home! I was randomly craving French toast last night before bed!
ReplyDeleteThere is NOTHING so good as French Toast! Im now starving...at work...with no hope of French Toast- thanks. :-)
ReplyDeleteI make my French toast almost the exact same way... but without nutmeg. And I don't let it soak for very long because I like it on the drier side. I always say that in the trifecta of French toast, waffles, and pancakes, French toast is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI very weirdly am not a French toast fan. But I am a fan of using up leftover ingredients!
ReplyDeleteI keep saying I'm gonna start a Sat morning breakfast from scratch tradition. hasn't happened yet..... though French toast is a good reason.
