I love french toast, it's one of those foods that feeds your body and the joy of preparing it feeds your soul. I need to be fed, I'm in a place of newness that is uncomfortable and at times just heartbreaking, but the truth is I'll live to see another day and I'll be filled with this yummy recipe while I do it.
Soul Soothing French Toast with Strawberry Sauce
I adapted this recipe from Nigella Lawson, one of my all time favorite foodies!
3 large slices of day old french bread (I used some of the giant loaf I bought at Panera)
5 eggs
2 tbs good vanilla
5 tbs half and half
butter for the pan
Strawberry Sauce -
1 package of fresh strawberries
3 heaping tbs of sugar
1 tbs lemon juice (fresh please)
Blender
Preheat the oven to 250 (to keep the already cooked toast warm if working in batches)
Get out all your aggressions by breaking the eggs into a shallow dish and then whisking them together with the half & half and vanilla. Soak the bread for thirty to forty seconds on each side and cook in sizzling butter. Place cooked toast in oven to keep warm.
While your toast cooks hull the strawberries and throw them into a blender with the sugar and lemon juice, pulverize.... you'll feel truly de-stressed after making this!
Cover the toast with a generous portion of the strawberry sauce... enjoy!
Oh, wow. That looks amazing!!! I'll have to try making that for the kidlets. I think they'd love it. Hope all is well with your heart, my dear. I miss you!
