Cinnamon French Toast with Maple Syrup served with Berries
Ingredients:
1 cup maple syrup
3 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 large eggs
1 cup half-and-half
2 teaspoons vanilla
6 1" slices cinnamon bread
Raspberries and Blue berries
Directions:
1. Combine maple syrup (leave 3 tbsp. for later
use), 1 tablespoon butter, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a heavy medium
saucepan and bring to a boil. Allow to boil for 2 minutes.
2. Combine eggs, half-and-half, vanilla, 3
tablespoons maple syrup mixture, and remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon
in a bowl and whisk. Place cinnamon bread slices in a large baking
dish. Pour egg mixture over the slices and turn to coat the slices
with the syrup mixture evenly. Pierce the bread slices in several
places with a fork. Let stand for 5 minutes.
3. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in heavy large skillet
over medium-high heat. Add bread and cook until brown on one side,
about 3 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to
skillet. Turn over the bread slices and cook until brown, about 3
minutes.
4. Transfer to serving plates. Pour remaining syrup.
Garnish with berries.
A glass of fresh juice and some fresh berries will
complete your perfect romantic breakfast.
