Here are some french toast recipes that I like (they’re from my favorite recipe source, cooksillustrated.com). The whipped topping recipe is really good too if you don’t mind getting fatter. 🙂French Toast (For Firm European-Style Bread)
Less flour in this recipe allows the batter to penetrate more easily into denser bread.Makes 4 to 8 slices, depending on the loaf
1 large egg
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon table salt
4 – 8 slices day-old firm European-style bread (3/4-inch-thick) such as French or Italian
unsalted butter to grease skillet (about 1 tablespoon per batch)1. Heat 10- to 12-inch skillet (preferably cast-iron) over medium heat for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, beat egg lightly in shallow pan or pie plate; whisk in milk and vanilla, and finally sugar, flour, and salt, continuing to whisk until smooth. Soak bread without oversaturating, about 30 seconds per side. Pick up bread and allow excess batter to drip off; repeat with remaining slices.
2. Swirl 1 tablespoon butter in hot skillet. Transfer prepared bread to skillet; cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes on first side and 1 minute 15 seconds on the second. Serve immediately. Continue, adding 1 tablespoon butter to skillet for each new batch.
French Toast (For Challah or Sandwich Bread)
Though thick-sliced challah is best for French toast, you can substitute high-quality, presliced sandwich bread. Flipping challah is easiest with tongs, but a spatula works best with sandwich bread. To speed the cooking of large quantities, heat two or more skillets to brown a few batches at once. To vary the flavor of the batter, add three-quarters of a teaspoon of ground cinnamon or one-half teaspoon of ground nutmeg with the dry ingredients, or substitute almond extract for the vanilla.Makes 4-5 challah slices, 6-8 sandwich slices
1 large egg
2 tablespoons unsalted butter , melted, plus extra for frying
3/4 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/3 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon table salt
4 – 5 slices day-old challah bread (3/4-inch-thick) or 6 to 8 slices day-old sandwich bread1. Heat 10- to 12-inch skillet (preferably cast-iron) over medium heat for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, beat egg lightly in shallow pan or pie plate; whisk in butter, then milk and vanilla, and finally sugar, flour, and salt, continuing to whisk until smooth. Soak bread without oversaturating, about 40 seconds per side for challah or 30 seconds per side for sandwich bread. Pick up bread and allow excess batter to drip off; repeat with remaining slices.
2. Swirl 1 tablespoon butter in hot skillet. Transfer prepared bread to skillet; cook until golden brown, about 1 minute 45 seconds on first side and 1 minute on the second. Serve immediately. Continue, adding 1 tablespoon butter to skillet for each new batch.
French Toast Whipped Cream Topping
Brown sugar and sour cream aren’t the only ways to jazz up plain old whipped cream. Concentrated flavors from jams, juices, and liqueurs all work well. These whipped toppings are perfect with fruit desserts, cakes, or ice cream sundaes.Makes about 2 1/2 cups
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extractBeat heavy cream to soft peaks. Add maple syrup and vanilla extract and beat to stiff peaks.
I like to mash up a banana into my french toast batter. A slightly over ripe one is best. Good stuff!

Now that would be worth a try!
Fried egg sandwich:
Use wheat or potato bread, lightly (or darkly) toasted, spread butter/margerine and favorite jelly (optional). Layer of letuce, preferably not iceberg, it’s so borring…A slice of tomato, 2-3 slices of bacon. Fry egg and add lots of cheese (I usualy do a 4 cheese grated blend then add a slice of provolone, you can also use feta, but put on sandwich then add egg) on top when almost done, then add to sandwich, close and enjoy!
(I know, so chaotic to read…it’s early…)
