This weekend for my regular Sunday morning french toast breakfast, I tried baked french toast with chopped strawberries. These were cute little bakes which were colorful and elegant at the same time. Perfect for breakfast these can also be served as a party dessert. You should definitely use old bread since fresh bread would become mushy. Also check out my other french toast recipes, Blackberry French Toast and French Toast with Stuffed Walnuts.
Ingredients:
Preparation time: 10 mins; Setting time: 4 - 8 hrs;
Serves - 2; Yields 8 muffins;
French bread - stale - 7 or 8 oz - cubed
Eggs - 2
Milk - 1.5 cups
Light brown sugar - 2 tbsp (can use white sugar as well)
Ground Cinnamon - 1/2 tsp
Vanilla - 1/2 tsp
Strawberries - 5 or 6 - chopped
White Sugar - 1 tsp
Method:
Grease the muffin cups with butter or oil. Chop the strawberries into small pieces and add some white sugar. Allow it to macerate for about 10 mins. Meanwhile drop 3 or 4 cubes of the bread to each muffin cups. Whisk the eggs until frothy. Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and milk. Add the milk mixture to eggs. Pour the egg mixture to each cup until full. Spoon the strawberries on the top. Cover with an aluminium foil and pop it in the fridge overnight or for a minimum of 4 hrs. Bake for 20 - 25 mins in an oven preheated to 350 F/175 C. Cool for a couple of minutes and then scoop out carefully. Serve hot topped with sugar or maple syrup and fresh fruits.
Note: Before baking you could top the strawberries with a mixture of cinnamon and brown sugar for a caramelized topping. The toast will be puffy just out of the oven but eventually flattens down.
