French Toast

This morning we woke up to a beautiful winter morning...what better way to start the day than with a hot breakfast and a cup of hot cocoa?? :) 

Our choice??...french toast!! :)

I know french toast is a pretty basic recipe but there are several variations...and here is one that my sister, Sarah came up with.

8 slices of french bread, sliced about 3/4-1 inch thick

2 Tablespoons honey

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

1/2 cup milk (I used whole milk)

3 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

2-3 Tablespoons butter

cinnamon

Toppings:

butter, syrup, berries, whip cream...

Yum, right?!

Step 1:  Warm 2 Tablespoons of honey in the microwave for 20 seconds.

Step 2:  Combine your warm honey along with the heavy whipping cream, milk, eggs, and a

generous sprinkling of cinnamon in a shallow dish. Whisk well. Heat a large skillet to medium heat and add 2 Tablespoons butter.

While the skillet is heating begin dipping your slices of bread in the egg mixture allowing them a few seconds on each side to soak up the liquid. 

Place in the hot skillet. 

Fry each side for a few minutes or until golden brown.

Remove from pan. You may need to add some additional butter for the next batch.

Top with your choice of toppings! :)

My favorite is butter, syrup, with a dollop of whip cream. YUMM-O!
