There’s no set recipe for this.
French Toast is pretty basic, right? Beaten eggs, a little cream, and
extras like vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and we like to use agave instead
of sugar. Use what you like and what you have on hand.
your favorite sliced bread
4-6 eggs (depending on how much you're making--I made 9 slices from this amount)
a splash of cream (I use half and half, because it's always in my fridge)
vanilla, a tsp or so
about 2-3 tsp agave (but you can use whatever sweetener you like)
cinnamon, about 1/2 tsp
nutmeg, about 1/4 tsp Beat all ingredients in a bowl, then pour into something shallow, like a pie plate.
Soak a couple of pieces of bread, on both sides, until they're saturated with the egg mixture.
Heat a little butter and oil in a sauté pan, and when it's hot, add your soaked bread.
Cook for about 2-3 minutes on the first side, until golden brown, then cook the other side the same.
After you make the first two, you get the rhythm of how long it'll take to do each side to the doneness you want.
Remove
to a plate and keep warm while you cook the rest. I soak the next two
slices as two are cooking, so I always have some ready to go into the
hot pan. When you're done cooking, layer the French toast with sliced strawberries and bananas, and the blueberries.
Put a dollop of sour cream on the top, and sprinkle some brown sugar over that.
Serve with your favorite maple syrup.
