Simple pan-fried French toast with eggs, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon.

Ingredients

• 3 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 tsp vanilla or other flavoring extracts
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon (optional)
• bread of almost any type, preferably stale
• 2 tbsp cooking oil

Steps

1. Combine eggs, milk, flavoring and cinnamon in a bowl or other container, sized to barely fit a single slice of bread.
2. Heat skillet to 350 degrees F. if your skillet is temperature-regulated, otherwise on stovetop at low to medium low setting.
3. Add 2 tbsp of cooking oil to skillet, immediately prior to next step.
4. Dip bread into coating, enough to soak and place immediately into a moderately hot skillet.
5. Fry first side until edges appear slightly brown and crisp.
6. Turn-over and fry other side until edges appear slightly brown and crisp.
7. Remove French toast from pan and repeat with additional slices of bread.
8. Serve with sugar (powdered or granular) or syrup and butter.

Notes

• A glass of milk accompanies this dish very well.
