French Toast

This French Toast is made with thick cut Egg Bread and pairs so nicely with pork patties or sausage.

For the port patties, we like to buy ground pork, and then form into patties and season with Season Salt and Pepper. They are best when cooked on the grill, but you can also pan fry them, like we did here.

For the French Toast:
Heat the griddle to about 350 degrees.
Cut the egg bread very thick 1 to 1 1/2 inches.
In a mixing bowl, beat 4 eggs and 2 cups of whole milk, add in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
When the griddle is hot, smoosh down each piece of bread one at a time in the egg mixture, turn the bread over and press the other side down so it absorps the egg batter.  The bread doesn't have to soak, but do push it down and get it really immersed in the eggs.
Put the bread on the griddle and fry until golden brown, then flip and brown the other side.
When done, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Serve with butter and real maple syrup.
