French Toast

Kids can help: Stir egg mixture, dip bread and cut hearts.

1. Beat an egg, using a fork, in a medium, low bowl.  Add about ¾ cup milk per each egg used.  Add a teaspoon of maple syrup and stir well.
2. Using a heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out heart shapes from the center of bread slices. 
3. Dip all bread pieces into egg mixture and set onto pancake griddle or large skillet set on medium heat.  Brown lightly on both sides.
4. Garnish with cut strawberries and maple syrup.
