Your Sunday Morning plan

EAT:

Not only is this French toast recipe super easy with ingredients you already have around the house, you can also make it the night before to maximize coffee and paper time in the morning. There are any number of little variations on baked French toast, but we like this one from AllRecipes.

You’ll need:

  • 5 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 cup half-and-half cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 (1 pound) loaf French bread, cut diagonally in 1 inch slices
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

This Sunday: Make Valentine’s Day French Toast and Play Hide & Seek

Your Sunday Morning plan:

EAT:

We’re not sure why French toast feels like a weekend treat when it’s so ridiculously easy to make, but somehow it does. (OK maybe we do know. Maybe we shouldn’t combine eggs and syrup on a daily basis) Some folks get all fancy with the coating, but let’s stick with the more classic model.

You’ll need:

  • Sliced bread (about two slices per person… depending on how hungry people are and how serious they are about French toast)
  • Eggs (one egg does about two slices of bread)
  • Milk (1/4 cup per egg)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Salt (a pinch)
  • Butter (for frying)
