Whenever my grandkids will be staying overnight, I buy a loaf of Italian bread for this recipe. The grandkids love to use a whisk to stir it up...they enjoy dipping the bread slices too. Its a fun, hands-on recipe for them. I mix one batch at a time. Its less messy and all the grandkids get a turn to help. I like to use my own grandmas cast-iron skillet...so many memories made!

2 eggs, beaten

c. milk

1 T. sugar

t. vanilla extract

1 t. cinnamon

1 T. butter

4 slices day-old Italian bread

Garnish: maple syrup

In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon until blended. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Dip bread into egg mixture on both sides, one slice at a time, coating well. Add bread to skillet. Cook on both sides for about 4 minutes, until golden and egg mixture is set. May keep warm in a 250-degree oven until all slices are cooked. Serve with syrup. Makes 2 servings,2 slices each.

A yummy topping for French toast...combine an 18-ounce jar of apricot jam with cup orange juice in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and stir to blend; serve warm.
