One of my favorite tricks to use up bread that is a tad past fresh is to make French Toast. Sourdough bread makes excellent French Toast. Every bit as good as using Texas Toast. You will need just a handful of ingredients, including one that is optional.

Gather the following kitchen equipment before you start: a spatula, frying pan, glass or metal dish, measuring cup and a fork. Non-porous pie plates work great!

From the refrigerator and pantry grab the following ingredients-milk, egg, butter, sourdough bread and the optional cinnamon.

The French Toast can be served with your favorite eggs and/or breakfast meat. A variety of toppings add a finishing touch. Try any of the following or a combination: fresh fruit, powdered sugar, maple syrup or my personal favorite a spoonful of homemade jam or jelly. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 Egg

1 Cup of Whole Milk (Low Fat may be substituted)

2 Slices of Sourdough Bread

1-2 Tbs of Butter, melted

1/8 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)

Directions:

Whisk together egg, milk and cinnamon. Dip the bread slices into mixture soaking both sides. Fry in butter, flipping to cook both sides. Serve hot. Makes enough for one or two servings.
