Victoria's Lemon Zest French toast

Ingredients:
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
about 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
1 1/2 tablespoons of butter
a lemon
either French bread or day old sandwich bread, either one works.

Instructions:
beat the eggs together in a large bowl
add the milk to the eggs and mix them together untill its blended evenly
add the sugar and the vanilla

heat up a nonstick pan or skillet on the stove and add the butter or a nonstick spray to keep the toast from sticking to the pan. when the butter has melted, lower the heat to medium.

once the pan is nice and hot, put a slice of the bread into the egg mixture. flip it over so that the bread soaks it up. place the bread on the skillet and cook for two minutes on both sides,or untill the toast is nicely browned, flipping with a large spatula. repeat this step with as many slices as you'd like.

once you have cooked a slice, place it on a large plate. sprinkle confectioners sugar over the top. take the zest from a lemon and zest it over the toast, this adds a really bright flavor to the toast so it doesnt taste so heavy.
enjoy! :)
