Mother’s Day French Toast

By: Myra Santiago

Make this one for breakfast to impress someone special (your mom!). Just remember to be patient when slow-cooking the egg.

Serves 1 Prep Time 1 minute Total Cooking Time 6 minutes

2 tablespoons butter
2 thick bread slices, with holes cut in the center
1/2 cup fresh milk
2 eggs

1 Place a small juice glass in the center of a slice of bread and cut around it, creating a hole in the middle. Dip the bread slices in a bowl of milk, allowing it to moisten most of the slice without getting it soggy. Handle carefully to prevent the bread from breaking apart.

2 Heat to medium a Teflon-coated skillet and gently melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Place a slice of bread in the pan and fry until golden brown. Turn the slice over and crack an egg into the empty center. Bring the heat down to low and allow the egg to cook slowly until the whites have set.

3 Serve quickly with a side of crispy bacon strips or slices of ham and cheese.
