French Toast ~~

One of these eggs

is not like the others ~~  

Of course ~ you can tell which

one is store bought and which ones

are from  a friends home grown chicks.

Now the eggs above were not the ones

I used to make this batch of French Toast.

Nope, this griddle full was 

Sunday's breakfast

last weekend when our grandson was here.

I didn't take a photo

of the French Toast I made using the above

eggs.   That photo would have shown

a much richer yellow/orange colored

French Toast.   I was We were in too much

of a hurry to eat, to grab the camera.

Sometimes it just plain feels weird

to take photos of your food especially

when the husband is home.

Anyway, I wanted to

share my own recipe

for making  French Toast. 

This is not

a regular recipe though,

because for this I don't really measure.

OK, here goes ~

 French Toast

Slice some home made white bread,

or a firm dense bread of your choosing.

I haven't baked bread in

quite awhile though. So ~~~

 I like Pugliese French bread

which is what I used this time. 

Crack one egg for every two

slices of bread you plan to use,

 and perhaps one extra just in case it's needed. 

 I crack these into a pie pan.

Then add milk. Just a glug or so.

Told ya this wasn't going to be

 a regular ole recipe.

Add a little bit of sugar (1 tsp.) 

 and a couple

shakes from the salt shaker.

Then add some vanilla.

I don't measure, but just perhaps

1/2  teaspoon.

 Inhale the scent of

vanilla, while watching the pretty

swirls it's making in the unmixed

egg/milk/salt/sugar combo.

Now, act like you are

shaking a moderate amount of

pepper  on your mixture,

Only it's mace you are shaking on.

 It's really smelling good now.

Ground Mace is

the outer covering of nutmeg.

If you haven't tried it, you should.

Now whisk everything together

in the pie pan. 

Thoroughly soak your bread and

cook the slices on a buttered skillet/griddle

(medium heat)until done. 

 Make sure it's firm/done.

 I wouldn't want you to tuck into

 some undone egg goo.

Now serve with butter and

powdered sugar, or real maple syrup.
