51: French Toast (Page 646, TNBR)

My younger sister finally finished her HSC. Wohoo! I rang her yesterday and I think she was still worried about what I would feed her when she comes to stay in Brisbane with me. I think when I told her that I made French toast for breakfast she was pretty impressed. I made French toast for her many years ago. My recipe? What recipe? It involved an egg (maybe 2), a dash of milk and some cinammon. Then I doused it in maple syrup and in her innocent young mind she seems to remember it as the best thing ever (my words, not hers). Since I had half a sandwich loaf sitting in my fridge I decided to make French toast - since I eat my toast at work and don't need to make sandwiches, buying bread is sort of a waste, so I had to buy half a loaf (which makes it more expensive).

I know I haven't made a recipe from The New Best Recipe book for a while now, but I have not forgotten all about it. I still flip through it every now and then. I thought this recipe was perfect! But I think it depends on how you like your French toast. I've always known it to taste pretty much like fried egg on bread. But this recipe was more like custard, and the egg was very subtle. I also enjoyed sprinkling some cinnamon onto it dousing it in maple syrup. Breakfast of champions!
