French Toast - 4 ways

Plenty of eggs in our house and here's our favorite Sat morning breakfast.  We change it from time to time, just for fun!

#1  Basic French toast

You need 2 eggs, a little milk and butter, spray oil, a little sugar
3-4 slices of bread

2 eggs, mixed up with a little milk in a flat based container

Soak bread in it - I usually cut each slice into 2

fry gently in butter, a little oil (a spray) first in the pan reduces the chance of butter burning

turn when brown - my kids always reject soggy french toast, so fry it on a fairly hot hotplate

sprinkle with a little sugar, it MUST BE EATEN HOT!

#2  Basic French toast recipe - draped in

Cheese!!  So you follow the basic recipe, and just before you pop it in the frypan drape it over cheese - parmeson is perfect, and then fry it - it is supurbly cruchy and a little salty.  Kids love it!

#3 Basic French Toast with a twist

add a half teaspoon of vanilla - it really does add something to the flavour!

#4  French toast - with a Brazilian twist

We've enjoyed the company of many Brazilian students over the years - one gave us a brazilian cookbook and this is an Aussie take on Brazilian recipe

Use the basic recipe, but add more milk to the eggs, like about 1/4-1/2 a cup.  Also use more butter - its a real fry up.

Put cheese between two slices of bread and squash it together - what kind of cheese?  Something that will melt nicely - I used a basic coon.

So now you have essentially a squashed cheese sandwhich - cut it into quarters, soak in the milky egg mix, and fry in butter.  Its a heart attach waiting to happen, but for a treat, like when camping - its pretty YUM!
