If there is one meal you must have on a train, it is railroad french toast.
We are talking history here. The history of dining on a train.
You can read about it (with an original recipe), HERE.
French Toast a la Santa Fe
You’ll need: small mixing bowl, whisk, 12-inch cast iron skillet, paper towels, baking sheet
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Yield: 2 servings
2 slices white bread, cut 3/4-inch thick
1/2 cup light cream
2 eggs
pinch, salt (optional)
1/2 cup cooking oil
Place cooking oil in skillet, heat to hot. Meanwhile, cut each bread slice diagonally to form four triangles, and set aside. In a small bowl, combine eggs, cream and salt and beat well. Soak bread thoroughly in egg/cream mixture. Fry soaked bread in hot oil to a golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side. Lift from skillet to clean paper towel and allow to absorb excess cooking oil. Transfer to baking sheet and place in oven. Bake 4-6 minutes, until bread slices have puffed up. Serve sprinkled with powdered sugar and cinnamon and apple sauce, currant jelly, maple syrup, honey or preserves, and bacon, ham, or sausage if desired.
