Here is the easiest version, in case you want to make it right now. Whisk one egg, a splash of milk (about a quarter cup), and a drop of vanilla in a shallow bowl. Heat a pat of butter in a pan over medium heat. Dip your bread quickly, then fry for two to three minutes per side, until golden brown.
That’s it. You have just made French toast. No chef’s hat required. Serve it with syrup, a sprinkle of sugar, or even just a smile. It’ll be gone in five minutes, and you’ll wonder why you don’t make it every single day.
So the next time you see that lonely loaf of bread, don’t sigh. Smile. You have a date with a pan, some eggs, and a little bit of patience. Go make yourself some sunny-side happiness. You deserve it.
