Emma's French Toast

 This morning my daughter got up early to make her Dad French toast for his birthday breakfast.  I think she's fantastic: shamefully, I don't think I've ever cooked him a special breakfast on his birthday.

Not only did Em make French toast; she also poached apples to go with the toast and made a cup of tea to wash it all down - and all before she walked to the bus stop to catch the 7.50 am bus to school.


French Toast

4 thick slices white bread, crusts removed
1 egg
1 Tbsp water
2Tbsp sugar
30g (1 oz) butter
good pinch cinnamon

Beat egg, water and 2 tsp sugar with a fork.  Heat butter in medium frying pan until melted and turn to medium heat.  Dip slices of bread into the egg and then straight into the frying pan.  Cook slices for about 2 minutes on each side.  When cooked, sprinkle with remaining sugar and cinnamon.

I suspect it goes with the name 'Emma' and the way they show their love for their Daddy's. My Emma is inclined to these displays of love and care for her Daddy too.

I hope your hubby had a lovely birthday and went off to work feeling special and loved by all of those important to him.
