French Toast

Yummy!!! Another quite healthy breakfast that I made for myself this morning... I just love the fact that you can combine french toast with almost any fruit! I had a banana and some giant blueberries which I skewered in between the bread. I think these skewers look pretty adorable... Don't you?




Ingredients


(makes 6 skewers)

• 18-20 cubes of brown bread (3-4cm thick)
• 1 large egg
• 200ml buttermilk
• 1/2 teaspoon bourbon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• pinch of salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 3 teaspoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons butter
• Fruits of your choice (strawberries, raspberries, banana, blueberries...)
• 6 skewers

Preparation


Cut your bread into cubes. Use any bread... Preferably soft white bread. In a bowl, mix the egg, buttermilk, vanilla, sugar and salt together to make the custard. Use your fingers to soak your bread cubes in the custard, turning them over to coat each side well. Make sure your bread is really drenched in the yummy custard!

In a frying pan, heat the butter. Place the soaked bread cubes onto the pan and fry each side for about 3 minutes. Each side should be equally browned.

In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Place aside.

Cut your fruit, if needed, into 1-2 cm sized bites.

Once the bread is done and brown on each side, take the pan off the heat. Arrange the bread and fruit onto the skewers. You're free to arrange them however you want to! When the skewers are made and ready, sprinkle some cinnamon sugar over the breads and eat them while they are still warm! Yum...
