Perfect Mother’s Day French Toast
All Mamas Deserve the World, Especially on Mother’s Day!
A classic treat for mom on this special day is breakfast in bed. Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise Executive Chef, JF Fortin, has a perfect, easy Mother’s Day breakfast recipe to surprise your mama on Sunday morning.
Difficulty: Easy
Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 whole egg
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 2 tsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp butter
- 2 slices of your favourite bread (we recommend sourdough!)
- 2 thick slices of cooked bacon
- 1/4 cup of sharp cheddar cheese
Directions
Step One:
Whisk the egg, milk, melted butter and maple syrup in a large bowl (make sure this bowl is big enough to dip your sliced bread into)
Step Two:
Put the cast iron skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add oil and butter.
Step Three:
Dip the two slices of bread into the egg mixture. The bread should soak most of the mixture up.
Step Four:
Please the bread in the pan side-by-side. Cook for 90-seconds, until golden brown, and flip.
Step Five:
Add the bacon onto one of the slices of French toast and top it with the sharp cheddar cheese.
Step Six:
Once both slices are cooked, place the second slice of toast on top of the toast with the bacon and cheese to create a sandwich.
Step Seven:
Transfer your French toast from the cast iron skillet to a plate. Garnish with berries and maple syrup.
