French toast stars are a fun and delicious breakfast treat that will surely be a hit with kids and adults alike. This recipe combines simple ingredients like eggs, milk, and fresh berries to create a delightful morning meal that's both nutritious and visually appealing. Follow these easy steps to make star-shaped French toast that will brighten up any breakfast table.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, crack the eggs.
- Add the milk and vanilla extract.
- Whisk until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Using star-shaped cookie cutters, cut out star shapes from the slices of bread. Reserve any leftover bread for another use such as croutons or breadcrumbs.
- Place a frying pan or griddle over medium heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, spreading it across the surface.
- Pour the egg mixture into a shallow dish or plate.
- Dip each star-shaped bread piece into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are well-coated. Allow any excess to drip off.
- Carefully place the soaked bread stars onto the frying pan.
- Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy on the edges. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your pan.
- Add more butter to the pan as needed for subsequent batches.
- While the French toast cooks, place the sliced strawberries and raspberries in a small bowl. Gently mix to combine.
- Transfer the cooked French toast stars to a serving plate.
- Top with the mixed berries for a vibrant and delicious garnish.
- Optionally, you can dust with powdered sugar, add a drizzle of maple syrup, or add a dollop of whipped cream for extra indulgence.
Tips:
- Use day-old or slightly stale bread for better texture; it absorbs the egg mixture more effectively.
- For a healthier twist, use whole grain bread and skimmed milk.
- To make cutting the bread into star shapes easier, chill the bread in the freezer for about 10 minutes before cutting.
- Try using a non-stick pan to reduce the amount of butter needed.
- Serve with a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for extra sweetness if desired.
French toast stars are not only a delightful treat but also a great way to get creative in the kitchen. With their fun shapes and delicious berry topping, they are sure to become a favorite for both weekday breakfasts and special occasions. Enjoy your tasty and whimsical morning meal!
