A Happy Plan B {Bagel French Toast}

The other morning Jason and the kids wanted french toast.  The only problem was that we had no bread and no one felt like running out to the store.  And then I spotted a bag of cinnamon-raisin bagels and an idea was born :)

I cooked up a big batch of bagel french toast and it was SO good and SO fun!  Yummy!

 

First I sliced up some bagels (these bagels are homemade but of course any bagel would do!)

So I started making my mom's yummy french toast batter "recipe".  I use quotes because she is a total dump cook and for this recipe I usually just dump, too.  But Alaina wants to cook with me and she is learning about measuring and so I created a recipe for her.  Four eggs...

Then a little bit of flour mixed with cold water -- this thickens the batter and gives a great coating to the bread.

Then I add in some brown sugar (I sometimes use white sugar...just depends on my mood)

 

Then some cinnamon...Alaina is learning the difference between TEASPOONS and TABLESPOONS...obviously she got a little mixed up here :)  No worries, just a little extra cinnamony...

Some vanilla...

Give it a good whirl...

Add in some milk....

Dip quickly and then fry up

Flip, cook, and serve.  Very happy people are waiting :)

And what did I do with these two lonely little guys once the family had eaten their fill?

I brushed liberally with maple syrup, cooked for 20 seconds, flipped and repeated.

And then I set them aside for the perfect late morning second third cup of coffee maple flavored treat.
