I’m NOT one of the 31 million Americans who skip breakfast regularly. I’m always hungry in the morning so I can’t even imagine voluntarily skipping the first meal of the day.
I love all breakfast food too; I could eat it any time of day. I can honestly say French toast is my all-time favorite breakfast item too. Who wouldn’t love French toast? It’s crispy on the outside, soft and slightly custardy with butter and syrup. You have to be almost insane not to want to dig-in to stack of French toast. I have been known to make a large batch and freeze it for many mornings of enjoyment. Since I love it so much, I’ve come up with a good recipe. French toast is not difficult, but when made fabulous you will be in pure bliss.
Let me show you step-by-step how to make this fast and easy…and need I say delicious…breakfast (or lunch or dinner)!

Directions
| Step 1 | Beat the eggs well. | |
| Step 2 | Add your beaten eggs to a shallow enough bowl for dipping your bread slices. | |
| Step 3 | Add half & half (or milk) to eggs and whisk together. | |
| Step 4 | Add in the vanilla extract and whisk again to combine. | |
| Step 5 | Add ground cinnamon, kosher salt, and granulated sugar and whisk again to combine. | |
| Step 6 | Slice French bread 1 - 1 1/2 inches thick. | |
| Step 7 | Spray skillet with non-stick cooking spray (and a little butter if you wish). Preheat pan (or griddle) to medium-high heat. | |
| Step 8 | Carefully dip both sides of each slice of French bread in the custard. | |
| Step 9 | Add the custard coated French bread to the preheated skillet. | |
| Step 10 | After 2 minutes or so, take a peek under one of them to see if it's showing signs of golden brown. Keep an eye on them though. Sometimes they can burn quickly. Flip once you get them to a desired golden brown color. This can take 2-4 minutes. Brown other side approximately the same length of time (2-4 minutes) | |
| Step 11 | Serve with butter and syrup. Or for a fruity twist, top with fresh berries, powdered sugar and whipped cream. |
