UpCooked French Toast
These are easier to make than pancakes, can be as tasty as you want them to be (they're amazing anyway, but add your choice of syrups or other sweet sauces) or you can make an ultra-simple version quickly too. Great for breakfast, a snack, even a desert!

BEFORE YOU START
For a richer flavour, use thick-cut brioche or challah bread. Serve with a variety of toppings like fresh fruits, maple syrup, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
GET SHOPPING!
This is a reminder to check what ingredients you need to buy and add them to your shopping list. It’s good to do your own food shopping, but at the very least, you’re head chef, so send a family member out to the shops for you!

Instructions
Prep in Advance
- Wash your hands.
- Slice your bread up into thick slices
- Gather all necessary equipment and ingredients.
- Crack the 2 large eggs into the mixing bowl and whisk until smooth.

- Add the 1 tbsp caster sugar (or any sugar) and ¼ tsp ground cinnamon

Let’s Cook!
- Pour the egg mixture into a shallow dish or plate (so you can soak a slice of bread in it)
- Place a frying pan or griddle on medium heat.
- Add a small amount of butter to the pan and let it melt.
- Dip one slice of bread into the egg mixture, and flip it over to make sure both sides are well coated. Let excess drip off.
- Place the bread on the hot pan and cook for 2.5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining slices of bread, adding more butter to the pan as needed.
- Serve the French toast warm with your choice of toppings. Maple syrup and berries go very well! A sprinkle of icing sugar also makes it look good and taste even better.
