Many french toast recipes out there are unnecessarily difficult. They call for a mix of egg and cream or milk, with extra ingredients and detailed instructions. You don’t need any of that.

The delicious recipe I remember from when I was growing up calls for only two ingredients, uses regular sliced bread, and tastes wonderful with maple syrup.

Figure two slices of bread per person. Here’s a recipe for two.

4 slices bread, crust removed and cut into 2 triangles
4 eggs

Heat a non-stick pan on medium heat. Beat the eggs with a fork and pour into a flat dish. Lay the slices in the egg until wet, then fry until browned. Serve immediately. If making recipe for a crowd, keep slices warm in oven until ready to serve.
