Cinnamon French Toast

It is a rainy day in Baltimore and what better than Cinnamon French Toast to have for breakfast? I've always loved french toast with the crunch on the outside of the toast and the buttery edges. I often like to make my own bread to use but this morning I stuck with a sliced Italian bread from the grocery store which works just fine.

Cinnamon French Toast: Makes 6 Slices

1 Egg
1/2C Milk
1/2tsp Vanilla Extract
6 Slices Italian Bread (I used Schmidts brand)
2tsp Butter
Cinnamon

In a shallow bowl beat together the egg, milk & vanilla. On a skillet over medium heat place 1tsp of the butter and spread it around to melt evenly. Quickly dunk each piece of bread into the egg mixture on each side, give it a light shake over the bowl to get any excess liquid off of it then stick it on the skillet. Sprinkle cinnamon over the top of the slices.

Cook for approximately 4-5 minutes on the first side until the bottom is a nice golden brown. Place small pieces of the remaining tsp of butter on top of each slice then flip over and cook the top side of the bread for another 4-5 minutes until it is nicely toasted as well.

Serve immediately either alone or with your favorite syrup, fresh fruit, some honey or powdered sugar on top!
