French toast

Yesterday was a rainy day, and parts of my area got flooded. So we could not step out most of the day. And I had very little all-purpose flour left. I need that to feed my sourdough starter. When there was a slight respite from the rains and when the floodwater had receded, we stepped out to shop. That's when we bought bread; coincidentally from a store called 'French Toast'.

The oil on oak painting is 'Winter landscape with ice skaters' by Dutch artist Hendrick Avercamp. It has very minute details like a dog's pawprints and lots of ice skaters. It depicts a winter scene of 1607 - 08. The painting is from Rijksmuseum, the national museum in Amsterdam.

For the french toast, you need :

White bread - 4 or 5 slices

Organic eggs - 2

Cinnamon, powdered - a pinch
Olive oil - for brushing pan

Whisk the eggs. Add cinnamon. Stir.

Heat a saucepan. Brush oil. 

Dip both sides of a bread slice quickly in the egg and place on pan. Don't soak it for too long, otherwise the bread will crumble.

Place on pan. Cook for a few minutes. Flip. Cook until both sides are lightly browned and the bread becomes crisp. Serve with honey.
