French toast my way

week # 8 recipe # 8

Ok guys, so I was craving breakfast for supper the other night and thought it was time to reinvent something i've never been a big fan of, French toast! lots of people love it but i've never really found some French toast that really blows my mind, so I made my own, the way i like it. I hope you like it as much as i did the other night.

What you will need:

- About 6 or 8 big slices of stale round French bread.

- 3 eggs beaten

- About 2 cups of milk

- A teaspoon of vanilla

- 1/4 cup of orange liquor or Limoncello.

- 1/2 cup of sugar.

- A small pack of strawberries

- More sugar for the strawberry sauce cut in halfs.

- Ricotta cheese.

- Honey.

- Butter.

Ok guys, so when you make sure you have all your stuff ready grab a bowl and add your milk, eggs, vanilla, orange liquor and mix everything well, then place on a double boiler ( put a pot with some water over medium heat and put a bowl over the pot so the mixture is not over direct heat) beat everything constantly for about 5 minutes until it starts to get thick like a custard, remember we don't wan't it too thick so when it is just a little bit thick like a light pudding take it of the heat and pour it over the slices of bread so they get drenched with the creamy mixture, let them soak for 5 min adding more as needed. Be sure to not drench to much because we don't want the bread to get too soggy. After that heat up a big pan and add plenty of butter than take your slices of drenched bread and let them get golden brown and delicious. While you are cooking the bread, take a sauce pan add the strawberries a little bit of water, sugar and some orange liquor and cook for 5 min or until a light strawberry syrup forms then take off the heat.

When you have your bread slices golden brown on both sides, place on a plate and crumble some ricotta cheese, then pour the strawberries over everything and drizzle with honey.

Serve warm, with a little whipped cream if you like.

So there you have it guys, a delicious breakfast alternative, and if you don't have strawberries you can use blueberries, raspberries or peaches. Hey on Sunday I'm gonna have a live show at 11 AM Costarican time so be sure to watch
