This past weekend, we hosted a Chanuka Brunch for some family and friends. I don’t know about you, but I love hosting a brunch.
Chanukah Brunch!!
As always, I found myself on Pinterest looking for unique recipes and of course this website came to my rescue. PS. Feel free to click on this link so you can see my Pinterest Page…..https://www.pinterest.ca/momwhoruns/
The recipe I found, appealed to me for several reasons:
-I had a bunch of skewers already in the drawer (big surprise)
-I simply needed to buy a baguette, 2 bananas and some strawberries (easy enough)
-I adored the presentation.
Here’s the full recipe (Originally posted on www.weelicious.com.)
French Toast on a Stick
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup milk (any kind of milk will work but I used whole milk to make it extra delicious)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon honey (I omitted this)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 cups of a baguette cut up into cubes (tip: use scissors)
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 16 strawberries, stems removed
- 2 bananas, sliced into 1/2 inch coins
- 8 wooden skewers
DIRECTIONS:
1. In a bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, (honey) and cinnamon.
2. Dip the bread cubes in the milk mixture to coat each side.
3. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the bread for 1 1/2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
French Toast Bites
4. Skewer the french toast cubes, sliced strawberries and sliced bananas and serve with maple syrup for dipping.
FINAL RESULT:
French Toast Bites on a Skewer
What a hit!
Easy to eat, delicious, and simple to make. Scored.
However I will admit that it was a bit tricky to serve them as I didn’t want them to get cold. I solved this issue by serving them as an appetizer as soon as my guests arrived. #problemsolved.
Promise to blog about a few other dishes that I made. Promise.
