The Most Incredible French Toast

This week I was in the mood for French Toast.  My husband Eddie, used to make French Toast for the kids quite frequently.  They always loved it.  He told me what he put in it but never the amounts.  I was never impressed with my french toast.  So I finally got him to tell me, not only the ingredients, but the amounts of those ingredients, and it was absolutely incredible.  Here it is for you to try as well.

The Most Incredible French Toast
2 slices of Cracked Wheat Sour Dough
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla ( this is where I went wrong before, I would only use 1/4 tsp)
1 pinch salt
2 packets Sweet n Low (he's a sweet n low guy, you could use Truvia)
cinnamon & nutmeg to taste (I love cinnamon so I used a couple of dashes, & I have a grinder for the nutmeg so a few grinds [that's not a whole lot])
whip it up.  to me it smelled like cookie dough.
Heat some non flavored oil & a little butter in a pan then place 1 piece of bread into the egg mixture.  soak it up a bit, then flip it over and soak some more.  Place that into the heated pan til brown and flip it over.  Cook till brown.  Repeat for the second piece.

My Topping
Now, Eddie just uses syrup on his but I like a topping of fruits so I placed a 1/2 cup of blueberries and about the same of fresh strawberries sliced up into a small pot with just a little water.  I sprinkled Truvia on top and stirred it up to make it warm and syrupy.

A little I can't believe it's not butter also went on top immediately after I finished cooking the french toast.  I did also use a little  maple syrup, warmed up in microwave, on top of my french toast. then placed my fruit mixture on top.  For now I have made myself hungry.  Oh yes, you should know, this is very filling and I was actually only able to eat 1 slice for my breakfast.  I saved the other one for a couple days later and it was still incredible heated in the microwave.
