If you bake your own bread and raise your own backyard chickens for eggs then French toast just makes sense! Maybe you also have your own milk from a cow or goat. You already have the ingredients on hand, it’s quick to make, and so delicious! 

Ingredients Needed to Make Simple French Toast:

  • eggs
  • whole milk, you can use 2% but if you want to enjoy life I suggest whole milk 
  • vanilla extract
  • ground cinnamon
  • salt
  • sliced bread, this is a great opportunity to use up older bread before it goes moldy
