Mini Strawberry French Toast

Great breakfast in bed – no crumbs, no cutlery! AND it’s super fast to make – just 15 minutes and you can make 2 servings in one pan! { ♥ ♥ ♥ Pssst – Valentine’s Day Alert!! ♥ ♥ ♥}

Mini French Toast - 15 minute made from scratch, great for breakfast in bread (eat with your hands, no crumbs!)

Am I the only one romanced by the idea of breakfast in bed but actually find it really impractical? It is so awkward to use cutlery with a tray gingerly balanced on your lap. And if it’s toast, pastries or muffins, I find myself holding the plate right up under my chin as I eat it just to make sure that I don’t get crumbs in my bed.

So here’s the thing about this Mini French Toast. It’s crumb free. It’s small enough to eat with your hands.

It’s a truly practical delicious breakfast in bed. It will transform your Sunday mornings. 🙂

One of the other reasons I really adore these is because I have a “thing” about food you can eat with your hands. I think it stems from my love for snacky things and multi tasking – eating with one hand with a glass of wine in the other, snacking while I bash away on the keyboard and picking at chips ‘n dip with one hand while gesturing wildly with the other as I gasbag with my friends. 🙂

French Toast CollectionOh, and another – it is ridiculously fast to make. I know you don’t believe me, looking at that pile of deliciousness! Seriously, it’s a leisurely 15 minutes and you can make the whole batch in one fry pan.

Valentine’s Day is this weekend! Why not indulge your sweetheart with a leisurely breakfast in bed??

Super fast to make, and a great breakfast in bed because it's crumb and cutlery free!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sliced strawberries
  • 2 tsp sugar (white)
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk (full or low fat)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter (more = yummier)
  • 10 slices of baguette (french stick), around 2 1/5" / 3cm thick

To Serve

  • Maple syrup (not optional!)
  • Confectioners sugar (icing sugar), for dusting (optional)
  • Extra strawberries (optional)

Instructions

  • Combine the sugar and strawberries in a bowl and set aside to macerate (it sweats to form a bit of syrup).
  • Lightly whisk the eggs, milk and salt in a shallow bowl.
  • Melt butter in a large fry pan over medium high heat.
  • Dip each side of the bread slices into the egg, 3 seconds on each side. Place in the pan and fry each side for 2 1/2 minutes, until it is nicely browned.
  • Remove from the fry pan, and serve, topped with the strawberries (use the syrup created), maple syrup and confectioners sugar (icing sugar), if using.

Recipe Notes:

1. Nutrition excludes toppings. Because I can't guess how much you like to drown your french toast in maple syrup! 🙂
