Strawberry French Toast

 

Sometimes I think “I wish I could look good in a bandage dress” …. but then I remember there’s wonderful things like butter, bacon, carbs and syrup!

Here’s a great recipe when you feel like spoiling a loved one… or yourself :D! Just make sure you eat it while still in your pyjamas.

You will need :

• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 tbs. maple syrup
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 cup of strawberries, roughly chopped
• 2 tbs. butter
• 4 thick slices of bread (I used an amazing scone bread from my local baker, delish!)
• 2 tbs mascarpone

1. In a medium bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, 1 tbs maple syrup.
2. In a medium skillet, melt half the butter over medium heat. Turn the heat down to medium low.
3. Dip two pieces of bread (one at a time) into the egg mixture. Let them soak for a couple of seconds so that the mixture has fully coated the bread.
4. Carefully place each bread slice on the skillet. Cook the bread over medium heat on one side for roughly two minutes or golden, then flip. Remove and place on a paper towel while you repeat for the next two slices.
5. Meanwhile heat a small saucepan on medium heat. Add the strawberries with the sugar and 1 tbs of water. Let it stew for about 5 minutes.

Serve the toast with a spoonful of the strawberries and drizzle with maple syrup. To help balance the sweetness add a spoonful of mascarpone and and salty bacon to the side.
