FRENCH TOAST SURPRISE

Wow!  What a change in the weather.  From almost 90 degrees to 69 today and drizzling.  My two Grand daughters are here this week and yesterday we went to the pool, swimming and laying in the sun.  And now today, YUK!  But then, the rest of the country is really in a pickle so I guess we still are the lucky ones.

This morning I making one of my kid's favorites for the girls.  French toast surprise.  It is my take on the English Toad in the Hole breakfast.  They love it as did my children.  Try it for your family.  Good and good for you.

FRENCH TOAST SURPRISE

4 slices of thick sliced bread
4 eggs
2 more eggs
Nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon
Butter

Just in time for Easter you can use a bunny cookie cutter.  Take any shape cookie cutter and cut out in the center of the bread.  Beat two eggs with 1/8 cup of milk and the nutmeg.  In a skillet melt about 2 or 3 tbls of butter.  Dip the bread into the egg and cook on one side (also the cut out piece).  When nicely browned turn over, crack an egg into the cutout part of the bread, cover with a lid and cook until the egg is done.  Serve with the cutout part, side by side.  Serve with some fresh cut strawberries or any fruit that you like.  A little warm syrup on the French Toast.

Try this soon, I know everyone will love it.

Thanks for stopping in today.

Just for the record.  Christina loved having this dish this morning and all she kept saying was "Amazing Nonni, Amazing"  She loved it.
