There is nothing better on a weekend morning than having breakfast in bed. If you end up having to be the one that prepares it, pour some coffee, grab the newspaper, and hop back into bed for an hour once your breakfast is made. It's the weekend, no one will care, and besides - you worked hard all week so treat yourself!We love breakfast food around here, and are certainly no strangers to some French Toast variations. One of my favorite recipes for the morning is Raspberry Chocolate French Toast, a little twist on the original.
For the French Toast:
2 eggs
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
4 slices white (or enriched) bread
Whip the first three ingredients together and dip each slice of bread in the egg mixture. Pan fry in a pat of butter over medium heat, ensuring that the egg is fully cooked on all sides of the bread.
Filling:
Blend the following ingredients together:
1/4 cup cream cheese
1/4 cup raspberries, diced
Cut each slice of toast on the diagonal and spread the cream cheese mixture on one half. Top each slice with the other half of toast.
Garnish:
Top each "sandwich" with icing sugar and a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Decorate with raspberries.
Cakes so amazing they'd be hard to cut into
