Our family enjoys brunch on Saturday mornings. The entire family is in the kitchen, cooking, dancing, and laughing. I am looking forward to sharing our special recipes with you all..I hope that you love them as much as we do.
This recipe is over the top in goodness! The Strawberry Sauce helps to cut through the sweetness of the French Toast. It crunches like a sugar doughnut on the outside but the inside is creamy and savory.
Doughnut French Toast with Strawberry Sauce
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1\2 cup of some sort of very fattening dairy product ( half and half. heavy cream or full milk)
- 4 teaspoons vanilla extract...use the good stuff please!
- 4 slices of White Texas Toast
- Butter
- Sugar and cinnamon..about 1\4 cup of sugar and a couple of Tbls of cinnamon.
Directions:
- Beat the eggs, milk and vanilla in a glass pie pan.
- Soak the bread halves in the eggy mixture until well saturated.
- Heat the butter in a non-stick frying pan, fry the egg-soaked bread until golden.
- You will know that the toast is done when it begins to puff.
On "healthy days" I will skip this step and just eat it with fresh fruit. This still is the best french toast I have ever had, even without the dredging of sugar!
Strawberry Sauce- Place a handful of strawberries in the blender, add powder sugar to taste (about 1\4 cup) and a squeeze of lemon, blend and serve with french toast
- Don't have the time to make the sauce? Try this...place some raspberry jam in a pretty bowl. Heat in the microwave until the jam is "saucy". Serve with toast...really yummy and so easy!
