Classic French Toast

Classic French toast is a quick and delicious breakfast treat. Enjoy topped with maple syrup, jam, fresh berries or a dusting of icing sugar. Orange French Toast: Substitute orange juice for milk. Blend in 2 tbsp (30 mL) sugar and 2 tsp (10 mL) grated orange peel. Serve with warmed marmalade thinned with a little orange juice. Use egg bread (challah), raisin bread or croissants. Add a little sugar or maple syrup to egg and milk mixture. Add spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice) to the egg and milk mixture. Sprinkle French Toast with cinnamon sugar after cooking. The recipe can be doubled or tripled. If cooking a large batch, keep cooked slices warm by transferring to a baking sheet and holding in 200˚F oven while cooking remaining slices.
