HEARTY HOMESTYLE FRENCH TOAST
Traditionally, French Toast was a way to turn bread that was going stale and an insufficient supply of eggs into a hearty, hot breakfast. My Dad's farm-derived recipe isn't sweet in itself. Sweetness comes from the syrup or jam on top. OR you might serve it with sausage gravy or milk gravy made from fried ham for a savory flavor instead. This recipe makes enough for a crowd or it can easily be cut down for a smaller group.

Steps:
- Beat the eggs in a bowl large enough to hold everything -- preferably one with a pouring spout.
- Beat in the milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and sugar.
- Heat a griddle and butter lightly.
- Pour some of the mix into a wide, shallow dish that will hold a slice of bread.
- Dip both sides of a slice of bread into the mix and lay it on the griddle. Fill the griddle.
- Cook slices until nicely browned, flip and brown the other side.
- Repeat with the rest of the bread. Be sure to beat the mix a few strokes before each refilling of the shallow dish. Add extra cinnamon if too much gets stuck to the early slices.
- Serve with a choice of your favorite toppings.

Tips:
- Use a good quality bread: A good quality bread will make all the difference in your French toast. Look for a bread that is slightly stale, as this will help it to absorb the egg mixture and cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking French toast, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the bread from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
- Cook over medium heat: Cook the French toast over medium heat. This will help to prevent the bread from burning and will allow it to cook through evenly.
- Flip the French toast carefully: When flipping the French toast, be careful not to tear the bread. Use a spatula to gently flip the bread over.
- Serve immediately: French toast is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that it is crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside.
