I love french toast, there is something so Sunday Brunch and New Orleans about it. I've done it all ... stuffed, smothered and even baked. This one tops them all in my book and it is so easy. No spices, creams or liquers. The people lucky enough to eat this will think you are a genius in the kitchen, let them think that way. Hide the bread mix wrapper deep in the garbage can so the secret stays with you!
Ingredients:
1 package of Williams Sonoma Apple Caramel Quick Bread mix - prepared
eggs
a couple of splashes of skim milk
unsalted butter...don't even think of using butter substitute...such a thing doesn't exist
powdered sugar - optional
fruit - optional
Preparation:
Make the bread mix the day before following package directions.
Go ahead and eat some of it...it is wonderful. If you didn't gobble it all up, slice the remaining bread and let it sit out on a wire rack all day and overnight to attempt to dry it out. This bread is so moist that is hard to do but...
Melt some butter in a pan over medium heat. Whisk a couple of eggs with a couple of splashes of the milk. Dip both sides of the bread slices in the egg mixture and place in the pan. Cook until browned on both sides. Repeat with remaining bread. Place a couple of slices on each plate and dust with powdered sugar. Pat yourself on your back for a job well done. If you want serious kudos pat one of your cheeks ever so slightly with powdered sugar, it works every time. Serve with fruit and hot coffee. Enjoy!
