Just when you thought that traditional French Toast could not be improved; that it could not be more delicious, rich, or melt in your mouth any more perfectly...well I found a way. Oh and did I mention it is like having dessert for breakfast!
Yes, I went there. I used the Classic Pound Cake from the evening before and used it for breakfast. And let me tell you, I will forever be making French Toast this way.
Ingredients:
3 eggs
1 cup half and half
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
(garnish with warm maple syrup, toasted pecans, and power sugar or toppings of your choice)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
2. Slice remaining pound cake into about 1"=1 1/2" slices. Set aside.
3. Mix eggs, half and half, vanilla and cinnamon on medium speed with a hand mixer until mixture is smooth. You can do this by hand but make sure that the eggs are thoroughly mixed.
4. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and coat the bottom with butter (approximately 1-2 tablespoons).
5. Once butter is melted and pan is hot, dip one slice at a time the pound cake into the egg mixture. Be gentle and do not let it soak too long. The pound cake will easily break due to weight.
6. Add one slice at a time to skillet. Cooking 3-4 minutes a side or just until golden brown.
7. Place finished slices in the oven while you complete the rest.
8. Serve immediately and cover with warm maple syrup or toppings of your choice.
