As we have already discussed in the Bacon & Cheese Quiche recipe, I can eat breakfast all day.
Every day.
And this is why. You have to try this French Toast recipe. If you weren’t a breakfast fan before, you will be now. This is a super easy recipe AND it uses up any old crusty bread you may have laying around.
I have tried this recipe before with all kinds of breads including sandwich bread and the best bread to use is 2-day-old French baguette bread. Amazing. That airy bread with a crispy exterior just soaks up the liquid fantastically. And doesn’t produce a ton of crumbs like some breads.
On another note, did you know you could make your own vanilla? More on that to come….
See? Simple ingredients: flour, sugar, eggs.
Can’t forget the cinnamon.
And orange juice. Orange juice?? Why yes. I discovered this little trick when we were on our honeymoon. The B&B served this fantastic french toast which the kind innkeeper revealed had orange juice.
What are your favorite French Toast recipes? Do they have any secret ingredients?
Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Whisk thoroughly until ingredients are well incorporated. Add bread slices one at a time and soak on both sides (allow the liquid to be absorbed, maybe 5-10 seconds on each side). Remove and place on plate.
Heat 1/2 T butter on med-high in skillet/pan. Add bread slices and cook, 1-2 minutes on each side or until bread begins to brown lightly. Remove and repeat to remaining slices.
Serve slices with a dusting of powdered sugar (optional) and a healthy dose of maple syrup.
Today is pancake day. I know I say this about a lot of foods (I’m a food blogger after all) but I love pancakes. So when we decided to cut back on gluten, I had to figure out a way to make my breakfast crave gluten-free. I only bought a few different flours (the sheer number…
It was fun reading through your comments on the mutabal recipe. Understandably so, not many of you had heard of it; unlike tabbouleh and fattoush, mutabal is not one of the better known Levantine foods. After dipping endless amounts of veggies and bread into the dip, I decided to put together a healthy and light dinner for us one…
I’m an Italian food gal at heart. Even though I don’t allow myself to enjoy it often, I love anything and everything Italian from stromboli to pasta to gelato, the latter being my favorite. I miss Venice. I still have dreams of their stracciatella gelato. In fact, when we were in Baltimore, we went to…
Veggie burger day has finally arrived after much anticipation. These bulgur quinoa burgers have bulgur, quinoa, walnuts, and cilantro and are topped with a creamy cumin yogurt. Seriously, how delicious does that look? Since I’m not a fan of tofu (ok, ok, I have to admit I’ve never tried it…it just scares me too much), I…
Day 1 of being back home and as always, the feeling is bittersweet. Sadness to end all travel but relief at being back home. These perforated espadrille sneakers were wonderful in Italy – they walked many streets and witnessed beautiful sights. Paired with vibrant red shorts and a split tunic, these sneakers are icing on the…
