Lately, I've been wanting to make french toast so I walked out with a loaf of Home Pride Bread:
Now, I had never actually made french toast before, but we still had some fresh blueberries from when we went berry picking, so I thought that combining the two would be a great way to use them up. Then I read a suggestion online about stuffing french toast with goat cheese and that sounded delish! Therefore, I decided to make a french toast sandwich of sorts, stuffed with goat cheese and blueberries. This morning I set to work on the recipe. Here is what I did:
Whisk together two eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1 tablespoon freshly grated orange zest, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, pinch of salt. Set aside.
Combine 2 Tablespoons berries to 4 Tablespoons goat cheese. Mix together with a fork, breaking the berries up slightly.
Spread two slices of bread with the berry and cheese mixture, then top each with another slice of bread.
Dip sandwiches in the egg mixture for 15 seconds per side.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium high heat. Cook for two minutes per side, until golden brown.
Serve with honey or syrup and more blueberries.
I have to say, this was unique and rather delicious. Here's the full recipe:

ReplyDeleteYUM. Never thought to add goat cheese to my french toast. But now I'm all over it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip!
Yum! That looks amazing! Most recently, my husband brought home the Texas Toast style bread to make french toast, which was pretty yummy. I also like to make homemade cinnamon swirl bread and then make that into french toast...if it lasts long enough...lol!
