French Toast

Strawberry Rhubarb Sauce

Method

French Toast

  1. 1

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  2. 2

    Coat the Bread

    Dip each slice of thick-cut bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated. Allow excess mixture to drip off.

  3. 3

    Cook the French Toast

    In a large frying pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the coated bread slices and cook each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown.

Strawberry Rhubarb Sauce

  1. 4

    Combine the Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced strawberries, chopped rhubarb, sugar, and lemon juice.

  2. 5

    Cook the Sauce

    Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the rhubarb is tender and the sauce has thickened.

  3. 6

    Cool the Sauce

    Remove from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving.

Vanilla Bean Cream Cheese

  1. 7

    Prepare the Cream Cheese

    In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. If using a vanilla bean, split it open and scrape the seeds into the bowl; mix until smooth. If using vanilla extract, add it now.

  2. 8

    Mix Until Smooth

    Use an electric mixer or a whisk to blend the ingredients until fully combined and creamy.
