Recipe File: Sneak Peek: Breakfast
Berry Nice French Toast
Ingredients:
300ml cream
300ml milk
12 slices fruit toast, thick cut
1/4 cup icing sugar
1 tsp ground nutmeg or cinnamon
oil for frying
1 punnet seasonal berries (strawberries, raspberries, boysenberries etc)
Method:
Mix nutmeg into icing sugar and set aside.
Heat oil in a non-stick fry pan on medium-high heat.
In a shallow dish, pour enough of the egg nog so the slices of bread are halfway submerged.
Dip bread on both sides and place into hot oil. When bread has been toasted on each side and is golden brown, remove and sprinkle with icing sugar mixture and seasonal berries.
NOTES:
I make this version of french toast often for a Sunday breakfast, Wayne and the kids love it. But with so much cream in the recipe it would be beyond our budget. Instead I use the 500ml of milk and add one large or two small eggs and whisk together. If I buy eggs, they cost 20 cents each and the extra 200ml of milk costs another 22 cents, where 300ml of cream costs $1.65. Substituting the eggs for the cream brings the price down by $1.03.
Fresh berries are expensive to buy. We grow strawberries so I use those when we have them. Otherwise it's frozen berries for a special breakfast or sliced banana drizzled with a little MOO Pancake Syrup.
