People have been making fun of the railroad for years, but no one jokes about their legendary French Toast. The train might have run late, but when indulging in a breakfast like this, who cared? I realize the cream adds calories, but suggest that you resist the temptation to use milk! It's worth the extra time on the treadmill! NOTE: Besure to use stale bread otherwise you're french toast may be soggy!

Tips:

- Use thick-sliced bread for a hearty French toast that will hold up to the toppings. - If you don't have any evaporated milk on hand, you can use regular milk or even buttermilk. - Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when cooking the French toast. This will prevent them from cooking evenly. - Cook the French toast over medium heat so that they have a chance to cook through without burning. - Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include butter, syrup, fresh fruit, and whipped cream.

Conclusion:

This classic recipe can be used as a simple breakfast or brunch dish. French toast is often served with butter, syrup, and fresh fruit. Leftover French toast is a favorite snack or can be used in other dishes, such as bread pudding or French toast casserole.
