This week's Resolution Recipe: Fronch Toast.
I enjoy Fronch Toast, but I rarely make it. Partly because it usually doesn't turn out as well as it should - custardy, eggy, yet crisp enough to resist a fork. This recipe was pretty good though.

2 eggses
1/2 cup milk (I used buttermilk)
pinch salt
1 tsp vanilla
dash cinnamon
4-6 slices stale bread (I used brioche)

Beat the eggses, milk, salt, and vanilla (and cinnamon) until light. Lightly soak the bread and place on a lightly greased, moderately hot griddle. Cook until brown, then flip and repeat. Serve with butter and syrup.

What worked: It was good, especially with fresh strawberries. There wasn't too much egg mixture left over and the lightness of the brioche meant that it absorbed nicely without sogging.

What didn't: I was reasonably happy with it.

Will I make it again? On occasion. I generally prefer pancakes or waffles though.

We deliberately buy challah at our local gym (the OFJCC) every Friday in order to make french toast the following weekend. It's so good that way!

That makes sense! We bought this deliberately for this recipe as well as the following one.
