| Ingredients: 3 eggs 1/2 cup milk 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 1 teaspoon vanilla extract nonstick cooking spray 1/2 loaf french bread cut in thick slices 1-2 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons brown sugar confectioners’ sugar 1/2 cup sliced strawberries 1/2 cup diced cantaloupe 1/2 cup halved red grapes 1 cup walnuts (optional) 1/2 cup ricotta cheese (optional) |
We don’t have too many breakfast recipes, but we do have quite a few that include egg. After we found this great recipe for French Toast, we decided that it was one that we had to share with you.
Directions:
Preheat a griddle or large nonstick skillet. Preheat oven to 200F (used to keep food warm).
In a shallow dish beat together eggs, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. Spray the skillet or griddle with cooking spray. Working in batches, dip the slices of bread in the egg mixture, let the excess drip off, then place in the skillet and cook for 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Place on a baking sheet in the low oven to keep warm while you cook the rest of the french toast slices.
In a separate skillet, cook the butter and the brown sugar together until the butter is melted. Add the walnuts and toss to coat with the mixture. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the sugar is dissolved and the walnuts are fragrant. Stir the mixture into ricotta cheese.
Spread a thin layer of ricotta on half the French toast slices and top with another piece to make a sandwhich. Top with fruit and sprinkle of confectioners’ sugar.
