Shame, shame--a recipe to help Fraters gentlemen

Chad of Fraters Inebritas admits that his family actually buys frozen french toast. While I understand about "convenience," there is a point where making things from scratch is so easy, it's almost harder to open the box, unwrap the product, and put it in the toaster. So here goes:

Ingredients:
Bread (your choice)
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
Whiskey to taste

Crack eggs into a bowl (no shells, Chad), add milk,vanilla, and spirits ( no more than 1/2 shot, Chad), beat well.

Heat up griddle and add a little bit of oil--I favor cooking bacon to demonstrate the griddle/skillet is at temperature and add some flavor. Dip bread into egg mixture on both sides, coook in skillet/griddle until both sides are browned, turning at least once. Enjoy with maple syrup, honey, cinnamon sugar, or other syrups.

Use space in freezer not taken by Eggo french toast for something useful, like ice cream.

Back when my siblings and I had all entered grade school, my mom went back to college. Because of the hectic schedule that ensued she would make pancakes and french toast on the weekend and wrap individual portions in cellophane and put these in the freezer. Throughout the week we could take these out and heat them in the toaster (before the micro-wave era). They didn't taste as if they were right-off-the-griddle, but they weren't bad and we still got a hot breakfast.

Add 1/2 tsp cinnamon to these and you will never look at Eggos again without a touch of nausea.
