French Toast with a Twist

french toast with a twist, originally uploaded by pearlyn83.

I came across this recipe on someone’s blog. It sounded really cool…french toast with alcohol. So I thought I’d give it a go and see how it goes. The effect was not too bad, especially if you are an alcoholic ! I served it with blueberries compote which I made from some leftover blueberries. I would add a bit more alcohol the next time. My suggestion – use either a coffee based alcohol or something like rum.

Ingredients:

• Bread
• Eggs
• Milk
• Sugar
• Pinch of salt
• Alcohol
• Butter

Blueberry Compote:

• Blueberries
• Lemon juice
• Sugar
• Corn flour mixture

Method:

• Lightly beat an egg in a bowl. Pour it into a big, flat dish, mix in the milk, alcohol, sugar and salt. Adjust the taste accordingly.
• Heat a frying pan with butter on medium heat.
• Soak bread in egg mixture. Pan fry till medium brown in colour.
• Serve with blueberry compote/cream/ice cream.
• Place ingredients for blueberry compote in a saucepan. Heat till sugar dissolves. Add in corn flour mixture to thicken it. Squeeze in approximately 1 tbsp of lemon juice and stir well. Refrigerate and serve with other things.
