Santa Fe (Railroad) French Toast image

People have been making fun of the railroad for years, but no one jokes about their legendary French Toast. The train might have run late, but when indulging in a breakfast like this, who cared? I realize the cream adds calories, but suggest that you resist the temptation to use milk! It's worth the extra time on the treadmill! NOTE: Besure to use stale bread otherwise you're french toast may be soggy!

  • Heat 1/2 inch oil in a heavy skillet over moderate heat until registers 325 degrees.
