French Toast Recipe
French toast is popular cuisine that is not only easy to make but extremely delicious when prepared correctly. The most basic ingredients needed are sliced bread and eggs. Some common additions are milk, orange juice, eggs, sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon.
French toast is truly a great way to use up bread that is becoming stale. In fact, it is better to use older bread slices because they will absorb the egg or milk mixture better without falling apart.
