Bertha's French Toast is a classic breakfast dish that has been enjoyed for generations in households across America. This recipe originated from a woman named Bertha who lived in Mississippi in the early 1900s and loved to make breakfast for her family and friends. Her French Toast recipe quickly became a hit, and it has since been passed down through the generations as a beloved family tradition.

Instructions

1.	In a wide shallow bowl, whisk together the beaten egg, egg yolk, evaporated milk, sugar, and a pinch of cinnamon until well combined.
2.	Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are coated well.
3.	Heat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bread slices to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
4.	Serve hot with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh berries.
