I'm a big breakfast fan. It's probably my favorite meal, but unfortunately that little pesky thing called a job keeps me from a legit breakfast most days. So I can typically found over my stove on a Sunday morning. I believe in a wholesome Sunday breakfast, spent with full mugs of coffee and the Sunday paper. It's practically a ritual for me. It feels good for the soul and it feels good to spend some time with loved ones and/or the news.
So this Sunday, I poked around my fridge and cabinets for some ideas. After noticing a chunk of fancy scmancy sourdough still in fridge, I decided on French toast. While I believe in Sunday brunch, I also believe in good bread for French toast. You just shouldn't use some old white bread for this....it's just not right. Find a bakery or heck, buy a nice loaf of French bread from your grocer's bakery department. It will do.

| What you'll need |
Christine's French Toast, makes 4 slices
- 4 slices sourdough, about 1/2 inch thick
- 1 egg
- 1/4-ish C milk
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- pinch nutmeg
Break egg in a shallow dish and beat well. Add milk, cinnamon and nutmeg. Beat well. Place sliced bread in the dish to absorb the liquid, turning over once.

Heat a nonstick skillet over med-high heat. Cook the toast for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown.
Dust with powdered sugar and serve with maple syrup.
