French Toast with Evaporated Milk

I love French toast but it’s not one of those things I make very often. So when I saw in a Rachael Ray magazine a tip for a substitution for milk I knew I’d give it a try. Unfortunately I couldn’t remember if you were supposed to substitute evaporated milk or sweetened condensed milk…..so I’m giving both a try.

First up is the evaporated milk version. This was very good but I didn’t notice a big difference in the taste from using regular milk. Either way it was delicious. Even my mother, who made a face and literally stopped walking when I mentioned it had evaporated milk in it, loved it.
