Happy Father’s Day to all of the wonderful dads out there. I’m remembering my lovely dad today and celebrating with my husband and daughter.
This morning I made my husband’s favorite breakfast for him, French Toast. I squeezed him some juice from the blood orange tree in our back yard. Yum.
Thankfully, the sun is out so we can spend the day together outdoors.
Here’s the recipe I adapted from taste.com.au:
Banana and Cinnamon French Toast
Ingredients
~ I used fruit toast to soak in this mix
- 3 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 1 tablespoon icing sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 x 2.5cm-thick slices day-old brioche (see note)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 bananas, sliced lengthways
- Pure maple syrup, to serve
Method
- Combine eggs, milk, cream, vanilla, icing sugar and cinnamon in a large jug. Whisk with a fork until well combined. Pour mixture into a shallow ceramic dish.
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Dip 2 bread (fruit toast) slices in milk mixture for 30 seconds to 1 minute each side or until well soaked. Hold over dish to drain. Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large frying pan over medium heat until bubbling. Add soaked bread. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes each side or until golden. Transfer to a baking tray. Keep warm in oven. Repeat with remaining butter and bread.
- Place French toast on plates. Top with banana. Drizzle with maple syrup. Serve.
