Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Optional toppings: Whipped cream, chocolate syrup or spooky-themed sprinkles, fresh fruit (e.g., sliced bananas, berries), pumpkin puree
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Heat your pan: Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small pat of butter or a drizzle of oil to lightly coat the bottom.
- Coat the bread: Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated. Allow any excess to drip off.
- Cook the French toast: Lay the coated bread slices onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp.
- Serve with flair: Transfer the French toast to a plate. Create spooky faces or fun designs using whipped cream, chocolate syrup, fruit, or sprinkles.
- Encourage creativity: Let kids decorate their French toast however they like, making breakfast an even more enjoyable experience.
Notes
Use stale or toasted bread for better absorption of the egg mixture. Ensure your pan is adequately heated for optimal cooking.
