Ft. Myers, Florida
French toast with Croissants and Fresh Strawberry Syrup
| 4 large day old croissants |
| ¾ cup milk |
| 2 large eggs |
| 1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
| 2 tablespoons butter, melted |
| Powdered Sugar |
| Fresh Strawberry Syrup |
Slice croissants in half lengthwise.
Melt butter in square Pyrex dish in microwave. Add eggs, milk, and vanilla and whisk all together.
Place croissant halves in egg mixture, then cook them about two minutes per side on a non-stick griddle or skillet. Stack on a plate, top with the strawberry syrup, and sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar.
Strawberry Syrup
1 pint fresh strawberries, sliced
¼ cup sugar
2 tablespoons orange juice or orange liqueur
½ teaspoon grated orange rind
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and let stand 30 minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes or until warm.
NOTE: This is in the May 2005 Southern Living and is wonderful! I bought croissants in the bakery at Publix and used them the following evening. The recipe for the syrup is half the one given, but it was plenty for us with the croissants. I only did three and we shared them, but there was enough of the egg mixture and syrup for me to have done four. The syrup would also be good with pancakes. I did slice the strawberries with my egg slicer so they would be uniform and pretty. The pictures showed the croissants stacked up high with syrup in-between each layer. I just spread them out on the plate, topped them with the strawberry mixture and sprinkled powdered sugar on them thru a small strainer. I also made sure I used a non-stick pan. When I made the Bananas Foster French Toast I did not use one and it stuck, so I didn’t have the pretty coating French toast is supposed to have!
