Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Custard

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until well combined.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ricotta

    In a separate bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with a bit of lemon zest and sage honey until smooth. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Dip the Bread

    Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Dip each slice of sourdough bread into the custard mixture, making sure to coat both sides.

  4. 4

    Cook the French Toast

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

  5. 5

    Slice the Apples

    While the toast is cooking, slice the local apples thinly.

  6. 6

    Assemble and Serve

    Serve the French toast warm, topped with a generous dollop of lemon ricotta, sliced apples, and a drizzle of sage honey.
