"French toast does
not have to be a weekend treat. Make 8 to 10 pieces and freeze
the slices (separate the slices with wax paper) in a freezer
storage bag. When a French Toast morning arrives, take the French
Toast slices out of the freezer, pop them into the toaster oven
and get the syrup and apples ready!" - Cheryl Tallman
French
Toast with Cinnamon Apples
- 3 to 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 8 to 10 pieces whole wheat
bread
- Cooking spray or 1 teaspoon
butter
- Maple syrup
- Cinnamon Apples (recipe
below)
- Heat a flat, non-stick
pan over medium heat. Spray the pan with cooking spray or melt
the butter and swirl around to cost the bottom of the pan.
- (Meanwhile) In a flat-bottomed
bowl or rimmed dish whisk together egg, milk and cinnamon. Working
one slice at a time, dip both sides of the bread slice in the
egg mixture and place in the preheated pan. Brown both sides
of the bread using a spatula to flip the bread slice over (about
2 minutes on each side). Place on plate.
- Serve with cinnamon apples
and maple syrup.
Makes 8 to 10 servings.
Cinnamon Apples
- 2 Golden Delicious apples
- Dash ground cinnamon
- Wash, peel, and core the apples. Cut the
apples into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Place the apple pieces in a plastic bag
and sprinkle a dash of cinnamon over them. Close the bag and
shake it so the cinnamon is distributed evenly over all of the
slices.
- Place the apples in a microwave-safe dish
and cook them in the microwave on HIGH for 3 minutes.
- Let them stand for 5 minutes. They are
done if a fork slides into them easily. Can be frozen.
