Ingredients:

• 2 or 3 eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• slices of bread
• butter
• powdered sugar
• syrup

Procedure:

1. Beat together with a fork the eggs, milk, and cinnamon in a medium-sized bowl (large enough to lay a slice of bread in).
2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 1/2 or 1 teaspoon of butter.
3. Dip a slice of bread into the mixture, turning to coat both sides.
4. Place the slice of bread into the skillet to cook. Once the bottom side is browned, turn the it over to brown the other side. Transfer to a plate when done.
5. Sprinkle the toast lightly with cinnamon and sugar, if desired. Drizzle syrup over the toast and enjoy!
6. Repeat steps 1-5 for remaining bread slices.

According to reviews, try adding 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract and nutmeg for extra flavor. If you don’t have powdered sugar, the ordinary granulated sugar will do. McCormick has a selection of herbs and spices in bottles, including cinnamon and nutmeg. You can also check out the less expensive SM Bonus brand in plastic packs.
