French Toast

Macerated Strawberries

Whipped Mascarpone

Lemon Maple Syrup

Toasted Almonds

Method

French Toast

  1. 1

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

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

  2. 2

    Soak the Bread

    Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 30 seconds on each side, ensuring it absorbs the mixture.

  3. 3

    Cook the French Toast

    Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt the butter. Place the soaked bread slices onto the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Macerated Strawberries

  1. 4

    Macerate the Strawberries

    In a bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir gently and let sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the strawberries to release their juices.

Whipped Mascarpone

  1. 5

    Whip the Mascarpone

    In a medium bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until soft peaks form.

Lemon Maple Syrup

  1. 6

    Prepare the Lemon Maple Syrup

    In a small saucepan, combine the maple syrup, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Heat over low heat until warm, stirring occasionally.

Toasted Almonds

  1. 7

    Toast the Almonds

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the sliced almonds for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant.
