Cinnamon Sourdough French Toast

I think the key to good french toast, is a good quality bread.

In this case - sourdough.

Now you can certainly make your own, or you can take the easy route like I did. Hit up the bakery, browse their discounted bread racks (day old bread is great), choose a loaf for a $1 and be on your way.

I picked a sourdough loaf this time because I like its tanginess (is that a word?), and so we could also make sandwiches with it over the weekend. Both turned out great.

And did you know you can freeze french toast too? Just make up a batch, let it cool and freeze in individual servings for later in the week. Genius.

Cinnamon Sourdough French Toast

loaf of good quality sourdough bread (your choice)

1 egg

1 cup milk or cream

1 T. cinnamon (I like a lot!)

In a bowl, whisk egg, milk and cinnamon together. Dip bread into egg mixture and place on hot buttered griddle, flipping after a few minutes or until it is golden brown.

Serve with butter, maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, jam, etc.

Speaking of maple syrup...since I don't live in Maine or anywhere where maple syrup is made in abundance, does anyone have a favorite brand of pure maple syrup they'd recommend? Obviously, one that I could find in Iowa at major grocery chains? If so, let me know!

Enjoy this breakfast (or dinner!) treat!
