French toast

French toast is one of those recipes our mother always makes and used to make a lot when ew were little. That’s because we like it a lot and because it is easy to make. Now, this is not our mother’s recipe, it is ours, with some changes we feel are for the better.

I love breakfast! I don’t usually have the time, but whenever I can I make myself a yummy breakfast, it’s great and it always makes me feel better, and makes my day way easier feeling I took the time to make something just for me. 

Now, every morning I’m either in the mood  for a savory breakfast or a sweet one. When I crave a savory breakfast I’ll usually go for something with eggs (just because I love eggs), and I make myself scrambled eggs, or an avocado toast with a fried egg on top, or maybe eggs benedict, but when I crave something sweet I’ll be a bit more creative. 

But the thing is I live with my sister and a friend, and we share the apartment, and since I only cook for myself most of the time, it’s common no have leftovers, so what do I do when I have leftover bread, that´s now too stiff to eat just like that? well, you guessed it: french toast.  This is perfect, because there always seems to be some old bread here, so it is both a means to pamper myself and make sure Im not wasting any food. 

And yes, the stiffer the bread the better (to a certain point of course). Actually, soft bread wouldn’t work as well in this recipe. The best thing is to use day-old bread, so it is a bit stiff but not too much.

Now, about what type of bread to use, you could basically use any type you like. You can use the normal loaf bread or use a baguette, or any other type of loaf bread for that matter. I like slicing it into small pieces, because it looks better, but you can cut it the way you prefer for cooking it.
