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!
