Bread and Base

Apricot Topping

Method

Preparing the French Toast Base

  1. 1

    Whisk the Egg Mixture

    In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bread

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

Cooking the French Toast

  1. 3

    Heat the Pan

    In a large skillet or griddle, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until it starts to bubble.

  2. 4

    Cook the Toast

    Place the coated bread slices onto the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Add more butter as needed.

Preparing the Apricot Topping

  1. 5

    Cook the Apricots

    In a small saucepan, combine dried apricots and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and let cook for about 10 minutes until apricots are soft.

  2. 6

    Add Honey and Butter

    Stir in honey and remaining butter into the saucepan with apricots. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

  3. 7

    Optional Nuts

    If desired, fold in chopped nuts into the apricot mixture for added texture and flavor.

Serving the Dish

  1. 8

    Plate the French Toast

    Arrange the French toast slices on plates and generously spoon the warm apricot topping over each slice.

  2. 9

    Garnish

    Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Serve immediately.
