French Toast Cups

I've been avoiding going to the grocery store this week so I'm fixing meals with things we have on hand. JP made french bread earlier in the week so I decided we'd do breakfast for dinner one night and have french toast. Instead of the regular kind we always make, we tried something a little different based on this recipe. Very easy to make, good with or without the apples, and easy to adjust the recipe based on how much you want to make. And I didn't do the glaze from the original recipe, we just used syrup.

French Toast Cups

(Makes 6)

4 slices bread, cut into cubes

2 eggs

1/4 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

dash of ground nutmeg

For the apples:

1 large apple of your choice, cut into cubes

1 tablespoon butter

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1. In a medium skillet, saute apples with butter and cinnamon for about 5 minutes, or until soft. Set aside.

2. In a medium bowl, mix the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg until well combined. Add bread cubes and mix together until all the bread is saturated. Add the apples and mix until well distributed.

3. Using a regular size muffin tin, scoop bread evenly into 6 of the muffin cups. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes or until set and lightly golden brown.
