This recipe is one that I got from my dad. The story about this recipe goes all the way back to the year 2000. It was the first day of the new millennium and to celebrate my dad found this recipe somewhere and made that first morning. He called it "Millennium French Toast". Basically, you make the French toast and then you put cream cheese and strawberry jam on the bread and make it into a sandwich.
I have since shared the idea with many of my friends, and everyone has loved it so far.

Today was special because it's the first time I've used my new "The Joy of Cooking" cookbook! I got it as a Christmas gift from my friend Andrew Gaul.
The recipe we used is as follows:
Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup milk
- 4 eggs
- 2 tbsp sugar (we used white sugar)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 slices (at least) of French bread
- BUTTER (yum)
- cinnamon
- nutmeg
- cream cheese
- strawberry jam/jelly/preserves
Really we didn't follow the quantities in the recipe at all... It was more like, "Lets add some of this, and some of that!" We did use the ingredients list as reference. I found that we hadn't added enough cinnamon to the mix, and next time I might add a bit more.

| spread while still warm |
Steps:
- mix eggs, milk, cinnamon, sugar, vanilla, nutmeg, and salt in big bowl
- soak the bread in the mixture on both sides one slice at a time
- in a well buttered pan over medium low heat, brown the bread.
- for Millennium French toast, it is best to spread the cream cheese and strawberry jam while the bread is still hot.
