French Toasts with Cheese

French toasts are easy to do and very tasty. They fit perfectly for breakfast or brunch, or as a quick to prepare snack.

It is good to use not so fresh, 2 or 3 days old bread for french toasts. However it you only have fresh bread – just dry slices of it in the toster for a bit, it will make preparation easier.

French toasts can be served plain or with various topping: honey, berry jams or syrups. I prefer them topped with shredded cheese or mix of cheeses.

Ingredients:

  • 2 eggs
  • 4 slices of white bread
  • 1/3 cup of milk
  • Ground cinnamon, to taste
  • Vanilla sugar, about ½ teaspoon
  • Shredded cheese of your choice
  • 1 table spoon of butter

How to prepare, step-by-step:

  1. Prepare ingredients: it will work better if bread that you use is 2-3 days old, fresh bread will sodden fast and may be hard to handle, if you only have fresh bread – dry bread slices it a bit in a toster before using for french toasts; also vanilla sugar can be replaced with vanilla extract:

  7. Put as much slices of bread to the skillet as it can fit (mine only fit 2 at the time):

  8. Fry them until eggs are cooked through (till light brown color), then flip to the other side:

  9. Once eggs from other side are cooked though as well then move french toasts to the plate and garnish them with your choice of shredded cheese. Let cheese melt a bit. Serve warm for breakfast or as a quick snack:
