Falmea's Favorite Fruity French Toast


It was a bright sunny morning in the Spiral. Wizard City was just starting to wake up to the crisp air. In her cottage, Professor Falmea awoke and thought to herself, 'Yes, I like French Toast. But I mostly like french toast with delicious strawberry syrup.' So she got up to fix herself some fruity french toast but there were no strawberries to be found! She sent her students to search all over Wizard City but everyone was all sold out.

Then one student came to her rescue. Following the advice of Prospector Zeke, this student went and searched deep in the woods of Grizzleheim and there discovered a large strawberry patch. The student gathered as many strawberries as she could and brought them back to Falmea. Professor Falmea was so pleased she rewarded the student by cooking up a double batch of Fruity French Toast with extra strawberry syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar on top.


Sounds like a delicious story yes? Well let me tell you...finding strawberries that are less than $4.00 in winter can be hard. But it's worth it. I had listened to that silly song just before going to sleep. So, just like Falmea, I too woke up thinking about french toast!


Luckily, I had some strawberries in the fridge, leftover from my parfait craving earlier this week. These strawberries were just waiting for an excuse to be used. It's pretty simple to make strawberry syrup for your pancakes, waffles or french toast. Just keep an eye on it so it doesn't become candy instead of syrup!


Falmea's Favorite Fruity French Toast

2 Servings | Total Time: 20 min | Artisan

Mats:
  • 6 slices of Wheat Bread
  • 3 Eggs, (3/4 cup Fake Eggs)
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 Tbl Milk
  • 8-10 Strawberries, sliced in half
  • 1/2 cup of Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Water
  • 2 tsp Powdered Sugar
  • Cooking Spray
Craft: In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, stir together strawberries, sugar and water. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer. Meanwhile, whisk together eggs, milk, and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Heat a medium pan over medium heat. Spray lightly with cooking spray. Dip 1 slice of bread in the egg mixture, turn to coat then place in the heated pan. Cook 2-3 minutes or until browned and not gooey then flip. Cook another 2-3 minutes or until done. Place on a warm plate in the microwave to keep warm. Repeat for other slices of bread. As you cook the french toast, stir your strawberry mixture occasionally. When all your french toast is done, pour the mixture over the toast, dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
