Mini French Toast

Mini French Toast
3 eggs
1/2 c half & half
1/2 c milk
1/2 t cinnamon
1 day-old French baguette, sliced into 1" slices
1-2 T butter

1. In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, half & half, milk, and cinnamon. (At this point, you could cover and refrigerate overnight.)
2. Soak bread slices in batter for about 2 minutes each.
3. Place a pan over medium-high heat and melt about a tablespoon of butter; place bread slices in pan and cook until golden brown on each side, about 3 minutes per side. Melt more butter in the pan each batch, if needed.

Maple Syrup

I got this yummy recipe from my friend, Anna. It's such a great alternative to store-bought.

Maple Syrup
2 c sugar
1 c brown sugar
1/4 t salt
1 1/2 c water
1/2 c corn syrup
1 1/2 t or more maple flavoring
1/2 t vanilla

1. In a medium bowl over high heat, stir together sugars, salt, and water; bring to a boil.
2. When sugars have dissolved, add corn syrup; bring back up to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes without stirring.
3. Turn off heat and stir in maple flavoring and vanilla.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
