Delicious French toast n' drunken berry
With St. Patrick’s Day coming
up, you should really plan on eating
something that will fill you up to
begin your day. If this food happens
to have some alcohol in it, well that
is just convenient and delicious.
French toast paired with a whisky
and berry maple syrup sounds absolutely
fantastic and it also tastes
that way, definitely a breakfast
worth muckin’. If you’re not into
the drunken aspect, omit the alcohol
and add a splash of orange juice and
a teaspoon of vanilla.
French Toast
Ingredients:
• 4 eggs
• 1/4 cup of cream
• 2 tablespoons of sugar
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla
• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
• Pinch of nutmeg
• Pinch of salt
• Sliced bread (French bread or challah preferred)
• Powdered sugar
Directions:
1. This recipe feeds two or three people. Whisk eggs and sugar together in a bowl until frothy, then add the cream, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Day old or stale bread works best for French toast because it can stand up to the soaking, unlike fresh bread.
2. Melt some butter in a non-stick pan. Dip the bread into the mixture and cook in the pan (at a medium- high setting) until golden brown on both sides. Dust with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar (four parts sugar to one part cinnamon).
3. French toast is great by itself with some butter and maple syrup, but why not have some fun with it? Try macerating strawberries by adding a bit of sugar to fresh berries and letting them sit for 30 minutes. This goes great with a dollop of whip cream or some Nutella.
Drunken Berry Syrup
Ingredients:
• 1 cup of berries (fresh or frozen of your choice)
• 1 tablespoon of sugar
• 2 tablespoons of water
• 2 ounces of whiskey
• 1 cup of maple syrup
Directions:
In a pan, heat up the water and sugar until the sugar has dissolved.
Add the berries and whiskey, heat until liquid has thickened slightly, and then add the maple syrup.
Heat the liquid through and pour over the French toast and serve.
Irish Coffee
Add freshly brewed coffee to your coffee cup (8 ounce mug) with a teaspoon of brown sugar and a shot of Irish whiskey and mix. Top with some frothed or whipped cream with some Bailey’s it.
