FRENCH TOAST
French toast is always better if your bread is a little dry — a day or two old, or leave the slices out overnight. Serve these crusty slices with bacon and warmed maple syrup, jam, or marmalade, or sprinkle them with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar.
3 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup milk
6 slices bread
Mix the eggs, salt, sugar, and milk in a shallow dish or pie pan. Soak the bread in the mixture until soft, turning once. Cook on a hot, well-greased skillet or frying pan, turning to brown on each side.
6 slices.

My family loves my Ham 'N Cheese Omelet
2 eggs
2 Tbsp. milk
4 slices OSCAR MAYER Shaved Smoked Ham, chopped
1 tsp. thin green onion slices
dash pepper
salt
1/4 cup KRAFT 2% Milk Shredded Reduced Fat Cheddar Cheese
BEAT eggs and milk in small bowl with wire whisk until well blended. Add ham, onion and pepper; mix well.
SPRAY 8-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Pour egg mixture into skillet; cover. Cook on medium-high heat 6 minutes or until egg mixture is set but top is still moist.
SPRINKLE cheese evenly onto half of omelet. Using spatula, fold egg mixture over filling; cover. Remove from heat; let stand 1 minute. Cut in half to serve.
Or you can let your imagination go wild and add anything in it that you have a taste for, such as bacon, peppers, onions and so forth.

I know this sounds yucky, but it's really good for omelets or scrambled eggs. Of course you'll want to put in a little milk, but also add a little sugar. Start with just a little bit on the tip, and then work up from there. It takes the strong taste out of the eggs. So far as the other ingredients for an omelet, I like fresh chopped tomatoes and pieces of crisp bacon, but you can add anything you'd like. An omelet pan is nice to have too. You can buy them at kitchen gadget stores...makes it easier to flip and the finished product looks nicer on the plate.
For French toast, I like to use a really thick-sliced bread dipped in:
3 eggs, beaten
about 1/4 cup milk
about 3 tablespoons sugar
maybe 1/4 tsp cinnamon
(I've never measured any of the ingredients so I'm guessing but think they're pretty close...sorry for being so vague)
Fry the bread in vegetable oil that's hot enough to sizzle when the bread hits it (if it's not hot enough the bread is going to soak up too much of the oil and you don't want that to happen.)
Serve it with syrup or powdered sugar.

6 Slices of Texas Bread (If you can't find texas bread, you can buy nonsliced bread and slice it yourself. The trick is to get slices about 3/4 of an inch thick)
5 Eggs (or a cholesterol free substitute, five eggs worth. I use Eggs Made Simple and I can't tell the difference.)
1 Cup milk or fatfree half and half
1 tbs of vanilla
1.5 sticks of butter (or margarine if you prefer... I like butter.)
1.5 cups of brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
Cinnamon
Melt butter and sugar in a saucepan and add pecans.
Pour contents in a 9 x 13 well greased pan.
Put bread on top of the mixture. You might have to sqeeze a bit to get it all to fit, but that's okay.
Take eggs, vanilla, and milk and toss into blender. Mix well.
Pour egg mxture on top of the bread as evenly as possible. Sprinkle cinnamon on top if desired.
Cover pan and put into the refrigerator and let it sit overnight.
Next morning... preheat oven to 350. Cook for 30-40 minutes, or until toast is baked through. (Toast will feel dry to the touch when it's ready)
Remove from pan carefully, flipping toast so the pecan/carmel side is face up.
You can serve this with maple syrup, or jam, or applesauce, or anything else you might be inclined to put on French Toast, but with the carmel and the pecans, it really isn't necessary.

Well, I usually just go for broke and hope for the best. Probably one of the more reliable sources for a recipe is the website for the Food Channel. They have a searchable database of recipes, and there is some really good stuff on there. It has been a while since I have gone on there, but as I remember it there are ratings on difficulty for each one. Good luck!
