French Toast With Cinnamon Plums Food

CINNAMON FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Whisk together Egg Beaters, milk, cinnamon and vanilla in shallow medium bowl; set aside. Spray large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat.
• 2. Dip 3 or 4 of the bread slices into Egg Beaters mixture, turning to evenly coat both sides of each slice. Add to skillet; cook 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown on both sides.
• 3. Place toast slices on baking sheet; cover with foil. Place in oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining Egg Beaters mixture and bread slices. Serve with syrup, if desired.

CINNAMON-ACCENTED FRENCH TOAST

WEEKDAY CINNAMON FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Thoroughly beat together eggs, cinnamon, vanilla, sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until mixed well. Add a pinch of salt if desired.
• Add milk and mix again.
• Place a small pat of butter in a large nonstick skillet on medium low heat. Once butter has melted dip bread into the egg/milk mixture. Just do a quick dip to coat the bread. Place bread into the pan. I usually work with three slices at a time.
• Place another small pat of butter in the pan. Once the butter has melted flip the bread over. This allows both sides of the bread to get that yummy buttery flavor.
• Continue to cook until both sides are browned nicely. Place finished slices in the oven while you cook the rest.
• Beat the mixture each time before dipping the bread. This brings the cinnamon up from the bottom of the bowl.

FRENCH TOAST WITH CINNAMON PLUMS

Steps:

• In a wide saucepan, combine cranberry juice and 1 cup sugar. Place over low heat, and stir until sugar is dissolved. Add cinnamon stick, and raise heat to bring to a boil; boil for about 2 minutes.
• Add plums, and reduce heat to low. Simmer until plums are tender but not disintegrating, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside. (Plums may be served warm or at room temperature; reheat if desired.)
• In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, ground cinnamon and 1 tablespoon sugar. Place a large skillet over medium-low heat, and add 1 tablespoon of butter, spreading it in the pan. Dip three slices of brioche in the egg mixture, so they absorb the liquid but don't fall to pieces. Place in skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes a side. Transfer to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with remaining three slices brioche.
• Place a portion of French toast on each plate with a serving of plum halves and their syrup.

FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Whisk together Egg Mixture in a bowl. Vigorous whisk = avoid cinnamon floating on top.
• Melt 15g / 1 tbsp butter in a non stick skillet over medium heat.
• Dunk a piece of bread quickly into the egg mixture, coating both sides. Place in pan. Repeat with more slices to fill the pan, but don't crowd it (do 2 or 3 at a time).
• Cook for 2 ½ - 3 minutes on each side until the surface is golden, then transfer to serving plates.
• Add more butter into the pan and cook remaining bread.
• Serve with butter and plenty of maple syrup, and Macerated Strawberries if using!

• Dip bread slice into egg mixture coating both sides and cook on a buttered pan until golden on each side, flipping as necessary.
• Serve with maple syrup and fresh fruit

CINNAMON PLUMS WITH FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• For the plums: Put the cranberry juice and sugar into a wide saucepan and stir to help start dissolving the sugar. Then put the saucepan over a low heat until the sugar dissolves entirely.
• Halve the plums and remove the pits, then halve them again if they are big brutes.
• Once the sugar's dissolved into the red liquid, add the cinnamon stick, then turn the heat up, bring to the boil and let the pan bubble away for a couple of minutes until the mixture is on the way to becoming syrupy.
• Now turn the syrup down to a simmer and add the plum halves or quarters and cook them gently for about 10 minutes, although note that this is based on starting off with viciously unripe fruits so you might need less time.
• Once the plums are tender but not disintegrating, remove the pan from the heat, cover and leave to keep warm. You can make the plums in advance and either serve them at room temperature with the French toast or warm them up again.
• For the French toast: Whisk together the eggs, milk, ground cinnamon and sugar in a pie dish.
• Sit 2 pieces of bread in the eggy mixture, turning after each side has soaked up enough to color the bread yellow, so that it absorbs the liquid but doesn't fall to pieces.
• Melt half the butter in a frying pan and cook the 2 soaked pieces of bread for a couple of minutes each side. Transfer the yellow, eggy bread, scorched golden in parts, to warm waiting plates. Meanwhile, soak the next 2 slices.
• Melt the remaining butter to cook the last 2 slices in the same way.
• Serve alongside the beautiful scarlet plum compote.
• Make Ahead Note: The compote can be made 1 day ahead. Transfer to bowl to cool, then cover and refrigerate. Warm the compote gently in saucepan before serving.
• Freeze Note: Cooled compote can be frozen in airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat as above.

FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Beat the eggs, milk, and cinnamon together. Whisk until well blended.
• Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing bread to soak up some of the mixture.
• Melt some butter (or use vegetable oil) over a large skillet on medium high heat. Add as many slices of bread onto the skillet as will fit at a time. Fry until brown on both sides, flipping the bread when necessary.
• I prefer to serve with golden syrup.
