Sinful Indulgence

This is the tastiest breakfast meal I know. It's calorific!

Croissant French Toast
: serves two, or one really hungry person

For three croissants
Beat 2 eggs.
Stir in:
1 cup milk
pinch of salt
(1 tablespoon sugar, optional)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or ground cinnamon

Heat tablespoon of butter or oil in pan on medium-low heat.
Cut croissants in half.
Dip or soak croissant half in batter, depending on desired softness.
Fry halves with batter side down.
Flatten slightly with spatula.
Once well-browned on one side, flip, flatten again, and fry briefly.

Serve with sugar and ground cinnamon or maple syrup.

Warning: this recipe may contribute to heart disease if eaten too regularly. Seriously, it's pastry soaked in milk and fried in oil. I think you'd have to deep fry it to make it less healthy.
