What you’ll need:

1. 8 slices of whole wheat bread;

2.  2 eggs, beaten;

3.  1/3 cup of milk;

4.  2 tablespoons of sugar;

5.  1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon;

6.  2 cups of finely crushed leftover cereal flakes;

7.  2 tablespoons of butter

French toast is easy to make and it’s an inexpensive way to stretch bread.  You could use cracked wheat, white, or multigrain bread in this recipe.

1.  In a shallow bowl, combine the eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon and beat until this is smooth. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, letting it stand for 1 minute. Turn over, and then dip into crushed cereal to coat.

2.  In a large skillet, over medium high heat, melt the butter.  When it’s melted and foamy, add the coated bread pieces, two to 3 at a time. Cook on first side for 3 to 5 minutes until golden brown. Carefully turn and cook on the second side for 2 to 4 minutes until golden brown and crisp.   Serve hot.
