This is the Portuguese version of French toast. It is a yummy change for breakfast from pancakes and ordinary French toast.

3 eggs

1 cup half and half

2 tsp. vanilla

Dash cinnamon

One loaf Portuguese sweet bread

Confectioners sugar

1 cup toasted, sliced almonds

Beat the eggs, half and half, vanilla and cinnamon together in a large bowl, big enough to hold the bread.

Slice the bread into at least 1-inch slices. Cut each in half.

Dip the bread into the egg mixture and grill, as you would French toast, being careful to cook the eggs.

Sprinkle with confectioners sugar and sprinkle with almonds. Allow 3 bread halves per person.

Serves 4.
