Whoever thought that eating breakfast for dinner is a genius!! Hats off to those person(s) responsible. I was planning to bake bread that day, but i was running low on ingredients, to I opted to get a fresh baked sourdough loaf from Panera. The day wears on without a hitch until my stomach tells me it's time to feed it. It had been hours since I last ate. I decided to cook up some good ol' fashioned french toast. Made a general batter of egg, milk, cinnamon and vanilla. Grab a few thick slices of sourdough and cook 'em right up.
I've always used french bread with making french toast, so in using sourdough it bring a nice balance of sweet and slightly sour with the syrup. Make sure you put a good drizzle of syrup. I can't think of french toast without it. For those who don't want to use the whole egg, you can use 2 egg whites instead.
Makes 4 slices
Sourdough French Toast
4 - 1/2-inch thick slices sourdough bread
1 egg or 2 egg whites.
1/3 c milk
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
butter
syrup - your choice
Beat the egg in a flat dish, Season with the salt then add the milk, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix together thoroughly.
Heat up a skillet and lightly grease with a little butter. Dip both sides of the bread into the milk batter for 15 seconds and cook on the skillet for 2-4 minutes (per side) on medium heat and until slightly browned. Do this for each slice.
Serve it warm with a good drizzle of syrup and some extra butter with maybe a side of fruit.

Deliciously simple - and what a treat to have it at dinner - definitely more appreciated especially when you kick it up a notch with the sour dough! ~Mary
You got the 'toast' color on this French toast perfectly! I'm all on board with breakfast for dinner, although it's not as glamorous-looking as this (Oatmeal. Yay.)
Note: my word verification is 'pigge' - so very, very true.
Looks great!! It is my new years resolution to spend more time making nice breakfasts on the weekends. I think I'm going to have to save this recipe and give it a try because I just love making sourdough toast in the morning... I can only imagine how good it would be as FRENCH TOAST! YUMMY!!
I love breakfast for dinner and French Toast is perfect for this. Yours looks wonderful!
That looks really good. Bredinner (breakfast for dinner) is always a great thing and for some reason tastes better than breakfast in the morning.
I love this breakfast food
yep I LOVE using sourdough bread for french toast, so much flavor.
Love it! I make french toast a couple of times a month probably. Hubby like syrup like you do. I like powdered sugar on mine :-)
My husband, who loves sourdough, would LOVE this French toast.
Breakfast for dinner is one of the best things ever. I maintain that most people don't properly appreciate breakfast first thing in the morning, they're too tired to really enjoy it.
I love French toast - it might be my favorite breakfast food!
I love breakfast for dinner. Maybe even more than breakfast for breakfast.
Genius to use the sourdough! What a fabulous twist.
I love sourdough & I love French toast! I could eat it anytime!
Guess who is the lucky girl who has a loaf of sourdough sitting in her kitchen :) I would have never thought to use it for french toast.

I just read the chapter on French toast in Orangette's A Homemade Life and have been craving French toast like mad! I think I need some for my dinner soon! :)
Breakfast for dinner. That's on my agenda now! GREG
