We woke to thunderstorms moving through the area this morning. Grabbing a quick bite and heading out to our daily walk wasn't going to happen early today, so I decided I'd take time to make us a small batch of French toast.
Yes, it would have been better with thicker cut bread or brioche. But this was a spur of the moment decision so plain old loaf bread it is!
This batch made five pieces of French toast.
In a shallow plate or bowl (I used an aluminum pie pan), whisk together 1/3 heavy cream, 2 eggs, 2 t. sugar, 2 t. cinnamon, 1 t. vanilla.
Heat a small pat of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. When it bubbles, quickly dip one piece of bread in the egg/cream mixture and coat both side of the bread. Place it in the skillet and let it cook for a minute or so, adjusting the heat if needed. Flip and let the other side brown. Remove from skillet to a plate and continue with the other pieces of bread.
Plate and top with syrup, powdered sugar, and sliced strawberries!
You must have gotten the same storms we had this morning. Yup, use what you have. You got er done.
