During the holiday season, a lot of focus goes to the cookies. And why not? Cookies are fabulous! They're tasty, and pretty, and welcoming--everything you want to associate with the holidays.

| Some of my cookies this year! |
 |
| A lot of French Toast recipes call for french bread - which is wonderful - but sometimes you just want to use up what you've got on hand, so this is a quick, easy holiday treat. |
So go ahead. Because you can never have too much gingerbread.
Z.D.'s Gingerbread Spice French Toast
Ingredients:
6 slices white sandwich bread, slightly stale
4 large eggs
1/2 Cup milk (not skim)
1 Tablespoon unsulphured molasses
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp salt
unsalted butter, for greasing
Directions:
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, molasses, spices, and salt. Beat until thoroughly combined, but not frothy.
 |
| I used a sandwich tupperware container because it is the perfect size for soaking bread! |
- Grease a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. Soak the pieces of bread one at a time, until just saturated.
 |
| Don't let them saturate for too long or they'll fall apart! |
- Place on hot griddle and cook until deep golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Flip toast, and turn down heat to medium. Cook until deep golden brown on other side, about 2-4 minutes.
 |
| They look unassuming - even a little ugly - but they pack such a lovely holiday spice flavor! |
- Serve hot with butter and maple syrup.
 |
| Serve with some toasted nuts, too! |
Quicker than a lot of holiday breakfast treats, but with all the flavor you want, I recommend this dish! Go ahead--it's Christmas!
