Eggy Surprise French Toast
This is easy, and kids love it. It’s a very filling breakfast item though, so don’t say I didn’t warn you. It’s a revision of the old french toast - crisper, and you can use fresh bread. I also took out the soaking process.
We visited Port Hope on Saturday, and bought some fresh maple syrup at the farmer’s market, along with strips of smoked backbacon and farm fresh eggs. Mmmm. If you live in the city, chances are, there is a farmer’s market less than 30 minutes’ drive away. In Ontario there’s almost one in every town; even south Etobicoke has a farmer’s market on Saturdays, 8 AM - noon. I wholeheartedly recommend it.
Ingredients - serves 2
4 slices of bread, use whatever you have. Use fresh, not stale bread.
2 eggs
A sticky jam/butter. I used maple butter, but you can use nutella, whipped honey, jam, preserves…
1 pinch cinnamon
1 pinch nutmeg
1 TBSP icing sugar
As much fresh maple syrup as you dare
Instructions
Pre-heat oven (or toaster oven) to 450.
Using a cookie cutter - or a knife, cut a circle about 2.5 inches wide into middle of two slices of bread. Save the circles, and either toast or fry them in a bit of butter. Glue, with jam, one slice of holed bread onto the slice of whole bread. Pop an egg into each hole, sprikle nutmeg and cinnamon on top. Bake until egg WHITES are set, but not the yokes. Cut off the crust, cover with the saved tops, sprinkle with icing sugar, and drizzle liberally with maple syrup.
Why eggy surprise? You won’t know there’s an egg in it unti you cut into it.
