FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• In medium size mixing bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, eggs, honey, and salt. You may do this the night before. When ready to cook, pour custard mixture into a pie pan and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Dip bread into mixture, allow to soak for 30 seconds on each side, and then remove to a cooling rack that is sitting in a sheet pan, and allow to sit for 1 to 2 minutes.
• Over medium-low heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a 10-inch nonstick saute pan. Place 2 slices of bread at a time into the pan and cook until golden brown, approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from pan and place on rack in oven for 5 minutes. Repeat with all 8 slices. Serve immediately with maple syrup, whipped cream or fruit.

Steps:

• Beat eggs and milk in medium bowl with eggbeater or fork until foamy. Pour over bread. Turn bread over, using pancake turner, to coat other side.
• Place cereal in resealable plastic food-storage bag; seal bag. Crush cereal with rolling pin or saucepan. Place crushed cereal in pie plate or shallow dish.
• Melt butter in 12-inch skillet over medium heat; tilt skillet so butter covers bottom.
• Remove bread strips from egg mixture, and dip into crushed cereal. Turn bread strips over, using pancake turner, to coat other side.
• Cook cereal-coated bread in butter about 4 minutes or until bottoms are golden brown. Turn bread over. Cook other sides about 4 minutes or until bottoms are golden brown. Serve with syrup.

FABULOUS FROSTED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and cinnamon. Melt one tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Dip a few bread slices into the egg mixture just to coat. Place in the hot skillet, and cook until golden on each side, about 4 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining slices of bread. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet before frying each batch of toast.
• While the toast is cooking, mix cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of sugar, sour cream, and whipped topping using an electric mixer or blender until smooth, yet firm.
• Place servings of warm French toast onto plates, and top with a generous dollop of the frosting.

FABULOUS FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Prepare a pan on the stove with about a 1/4 inch layer of the oil on medium heat.
• Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
• Add eggs and milk and mix well, consistency should be a very thin pancake or crepe batter.
• Cut toast in half diagonally to form triangles.
• Dip pieces of toast and allow to soak for about ten seconds. This is very important!
• SLOWLY lower into oil to avoid splashing. When edges turn golden brown, turn over with a slotted spatula and finish cooking. Remove to a plate or platter. Add more oil as needed.
• You can hold these in a warm oven to serve all at once or serve as they finish. Dust with the powdered sugar and serve with syrup and butter or your favorite fruit topping or compote.
