Meanwhile, boil the potatoes in their skins until tender, drain and cool. Peel them and cut into thick slices. In a bowl combine the potatoes, garlic, onion cut into rings, parsley and basil, season with salt and pepper and dress with plenty of lemon juice and extra-virgin olive oil.

French Toast




This French toast recipe makes a delicious breakfast. Make this simple, yet perfect French toast recipe that everyone will love. I love to make huge platters of it when we have guests for the weekend. My favorite thing to do is to make this French toast recipe on a lazy weekend morning when I want to make something I know everyone will love.


Ingredients:
 
  • 3 eggs
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons of honey
  • 2 tablespoons of vanilla sugar
  • 4 tablespoons of butter
  • 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup of milk
  • 10 slices of white bread
  • 1/2 cup of maple syrup, 1/2 cup fruit of your choice



Preparation:

In a small bowl, combine, cinnamon, and honey and set aside briefly.
Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, vanilla sugar and mixture of cinnamon in baking dish.

I like to purchase a loaf that is not pre-sliced so I can have control over how thick my slices are. Slices of bread should not be too thin, slices should be the thickness of 2.5 cm. The dried bread better will soak up all that egg mixture. Dry your slices in 180°C oven for 10 minutes before giving them their first dip.

Dip bread in egg mixture and flip to make sure both sides of the  bread are well-coated. In a skillet, melt butter and sunflower oil over medium heat. Place bread slices in skillet and fry until golden brown on each side, about 3 minutes.

Serve hot with maple syrup and the fruit.
