Strawberry / French Toast Recipe

Strawberry French Toast - Olde Square Inn, Mt. Joy, PA

Recipe from Mid Atlantic Innkeepers COOKBOOK

Ingredients:
• 1 loaf of homemade french bread cut to a nice
thickness
• 6 eggs
• 1 cup of 1/2 and 1/2
• 1 T. almond extract
• 1 jar of strawberry jam
• Confectioner Sugar
• Butter

Directions:
Cut bread into 1/4 inch thickness. Dip into mixture of egg/half and half/almond extract.
The key to excellent french toast is to have a hot griddle.
Place dipped bread onto well buttered hot griddle. Brown on both sides. In the last minute of cooking spread 1 T of strawberry jam on each piece of bread. Flip to other side and the jam will have fallen onto the griddle and will coat the other side. Remove immediately, sprinkle with confectionery sugar
and serve. Easy, no syrups and the guests love it.
