Hey family!!! In today’s Weekend Day In The Life I cook a big breakfast! French toast sticks, sausage, & eggs! We take care of some Saturday chores and then head outside because we finally have some sunshine! 😎☀
French Toast Sticks recipe:
INGREDIENTS
8 slices thick-cut Texas toast
4 large eggs
1 cup heavy cream
2 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
Unsalted butter, for cooking
Maple syrup, for serving
Cut each slice of Texas toast into four sticks. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, cinnamon, sugar and vanilla. Dip each piece of bread in the egg mixture, turning to coat it on all sides so that it’s well-saturated with the custard.
Shake off any excess and place the coated bread on a large plate or baking dish. Repeat the dipping process with the remaining pieces of bread.
Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat and add 2 to 3 tablespoons of butter. Once the butter has melted, place several of the coated sticks in a single layer in the pan. (Do not overcrowd the pan.) Cook until golden brown on one side then flip and continue cooking until the sticks are golden brown and slightly crisped on all edges.
Chocolate Tarches Recipe:
1 can Grands Biscuits
About half a stick of butter
1/2 cup sugar
11/2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
flour for dusting
Dust working service with flour. Rolls out biscuits. Mix sugar and cocoa powder in a small bowl. Put about 1 tablespoon of sugar and cocoa mixture in center of biscuits. Add a thin slice of butter cut into 3-4 pieces. Fold biscuit over and close together with a fork, or pinch closed with fingers. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until biscuits are browned. My oven took about 30 minutes.
