French toast!

French toast with some fruits and coffee makes for an awesome Eggy breakfast on any day!

Recipe-

Ingredients-
2 eggs
salt to taste
1/2 cup milk
6-8 slices brown bread
butter (I used olive oil, you can use anything you prefer)

Method-
Break eggs into a wide bowl (to allow you to dip your bread),  beat the eggs. Add salt, milk and mix.

In a non-stick pan, add butter / oil. Do not overheat or make it smoky!

Dip the bread slices, one at a time, into the bowl  letting slices soak up egg mixture for a couple of seconds, then carefully turn to coat the other side. Transfer each slice immediately to the pan, let it turn brown on one side. Turn over and brown the other side as well.

Serve hot with coffee / tea.

If you like your French toast sweet, add sugar to the mix omitting the salt and serve with honey or maple syrup!
