around here, weekend breakfasts are special. they give us time to connect as a family and get ready for a fun saturday or sunday. today, we had mini french toast bites before heading out to the zoo. the recipe was adapted from this book. chase loved them! here's the recipe:
ingredients:
1 large egg
1 tbsp organic whole milk
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp soy nut butter (peanut or almond works too!)
2 slices of lightly toasted whole wheat bread
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp organic raspberry jam
directions
1. in a shallow bowl, beat the egg. stir in the milk & vanilla & set aside.
2. spread nut butter on one slice of bread and press the bread slices together to make a sandwich.
3. melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat. while the butter is melting, dip the sandwich in the egg mixture, turning it to soak both sides.
4. when the butter foams, put the sandwich in the pan and cook until nicely browned on the underside, 3 to 4 minutes. turn and cook until the second side is browned, 3 minutes more.
5. cut the sandwich crosswise into squares.
6. dabble with some jam & enjoy!
