French Toast (Pour Une)

True or False:

I can speak french. -False (although I wish were true). 

I love french toast. -True

You would think that after 3 years of french in high school, I would have some fluency in the language. Yeah, that's what I thought too. But for some reason, each year the school would change the teacher and each thought it better to start at the beginning. So by the time I was in french 3 we were still reading out of the french 1 book. Sad, I know.

 But I won't let my terrible luck or inability to learn a language interfere with my willingness to make something delicious on a Saturday morning. Egg, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla. We're prepping the pool for some very lucky last pieces of sourdough bread, folks.

 Let them soak. You have to wait a bit...

 And like magic their done! But not really, fry them a pan first. Just a suggestion.

 Saturday bliss, man.

No french speaking required.

French Toast (for one)

1/2 cup milk

1 egg

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1/4-1/2 tsp cinnamon

2 slices sourdough bread (or any stale bread of your choosing)

2 tbsp butter

In a shallow bowl, combine first four ingredients and mix well with a fork. Lay both slices (if possible) in the bowl and soak for 1-2 minutes each side. In the meantime, melt the butter in a non-stick skillet. Once it begins to bubble, add the moist bread slices and cook each side for about 1-2 1/2 minutes or until a brown crust forms (you want it to be long enough to cook the center, but short enough not to dry it out).

Serve with berries and syrup (of course). Feel free to top with powdered sugar and if you have the patience, take a pretty picture! Then, by all means eat it.
