French Toast

Butter-Roasted Nectarines

Lavender-Chantilly Cream

Garnish

Method

Making the French Toast

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ricotta Filling

    In a bowl, mix Bellwether Ricotta with diced apricots until combined. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well blended.

  3. 3

    Dip the Bread

    Dip each slice of sourdough bread in the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.

  4. 4

    Stuff and Cook

    Place a spoonful of the ricotta-apricot mixture between two slices of bread to create a sandwich. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat and cook each stuffed sandwich until golden brown on both sides.

Butter-Roasted Nectarines

  1. 5

    Roast the Nectarines

    In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced nectarines and drizzle with maple syrup. Cook until nectarines are tender and caramelized, about 5-7 minutes.

Lavender-Chantilly Cream

  1. 6

    Whip the Cream

    In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, dried lavender, and powdered sugar. Whip until soft peaks form.

Plating

  1. 7

    Serve

    Plate the stuffed French toast and top with butter-roasted nectarines, a dollop of lavender-chantilly cream, and garnish with fresh thyme and drizzled maple syrup.
