Needed a quick and easy meal with no leftovers since we host dinner on Christmas Eve. Also had bread to use up.

INGREDIENTS

* Leftover bread – we had some leftover Italian bread used for this recipe

* Egg

* Milk – 1/4 to 1/2 c (est) and whole milk preferred

* cinnamon – as much or little as you want or omit

* Syrup of your choice – I used real maple but woke and kid used the other cheaper stuff

INSTRUCTIONS

* Make your wash station with the egg and eyeball how much milk you want (maybe 1/4 c), beat with egg beater

* Preheat a cooking surface (pan or griddle) on medium and spray with cooking spray

* Take bread, dip and soak in your wash and put on hot pan or griddle
