Warming Tip: To keep French toast, waffles, and pancakes warm until you serve them, put them in a casserole dish or in an "oven safe" plate and place them in a 300F degree oven until breakfast is served.

More Breakfast Recipes

French toast really was invented by French peasants who found a way to reuse their stale bread by dipping it in a delicious egg mixture and frying on a skillet. You can make old bread tasty or use fresh bread for an even tastier breakfast.

Crispy French Toast

6 bread slices
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon oil

Beat eggs. Add milk, sugar, and cinnamon and mix together. Use a fork to dip each bread slice into the mixture one at a time. The key here is to dip it in the mixture long enough to soak well, but not too long so you avoid it breaking apart.

Cook bread on a hot griddle or skillet over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Use a potato masher to gently press down so your French toast is crispy and golden in the center without burning the crust.

Serves 3.

Suggested toppings: pure maple syrup, powdered sugar, creamed honey, cream cheese.

Healthy Pancakes

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup buckwheat flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 cups soy milk
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup oil

Mix together dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a separate bowl beat the eggs and add oil and soy milk. Then add the egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir just enough to get rid of most of the lumps.

Pour a large spoonful per pancake onto a greased griddle or skillet.

Cook until pancakes get bubbles on top and edges are slightly browned, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Then flip and cook another 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown.

Serve with creamed honey and a bowl of fresh fruit.

Granola

2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1/2 cup coconut

Spread onto a greased baking pan and cook on low heat (300F degrees) for 20 to 30 minutes, or until browned. When it's golden, pour into another bowl and add raisins.
