french toast: hold the crust
I made some fun french toast this morning using my two-hearts sandwich cutter. I had to shred them into smaller bits for twofish, but the lack of crust made it much easier for her to chew them. These made perfect hand-sized snacks for onefish later in the day. [Side note: handle the bread gently as it tears easily without the crusts once it's been soaked in the egg mixture.]
~ 6 large eggs
~ 3/4 cup whole milk
~ 3 tablespoons sugar
~ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
~ 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
~ dash of salt
~ About 12 hearts [six slices] of Trader Joe’s Texas Toast [but any bread will do]
~ Canola Harvest butter [I get those massive tubs - LOVE the stuff!] for the frying pan/griddle
~ Powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar to top [optional]
I cooked these just a touch over medium heat so they didn’t get burned. The bitty fish loved these with cinnamon sugar on top [shocker, huh?], and bluefish liked his with maple syrup. I really need to get some different shapes of crust cutters, as they leave very little waste. And, if you make a little bit more egg mix, you can soak the crusts and cook them up, as well.
