French Toast All Stars
- 8 thick slices white bread
- 2 eggs
- 14 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 14 teaspoon salt
- 14 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
- 12 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1.
- Place a slice of bread on a cutting board.
- Align a star-shaped cookie cutter in the center of the slice.
- Push the cookie cutter through the bread, rocking it gently back and forth.
- Once the cookie cutter makes it all the way through bread, remove bread outside the cutter.
- Hold the cutter down on the bread during this step to prevent the star from tearing.
- Use a sharp knife to trim any bread that lingers outside the cookie cutter.
- Gently remove the star from the cutter and put aside.
- Repeat on all slices of bread.
- 2.
- In a medium bowl, beat together eggs, whipping cream, honey, salt, cinnamon, orange zest and vanilla extract.
- 3.
- In a griddle or frying pan, melt the butter over medium high heat.
- 4.
- Dip both sides of the stars in the egg mixture and carefully transfer to the hot griddle.
- Brown on both sides and transfer to a warm plate while remaining stars cook.
- Serve hot.
- My Note: I was soo bored with the same old french toast.
- Don't be scared by the amount of honey, I started out with only 1 tbsp and after the first slice quickly added the other tablespoons They were not too sweet at all.
- I used light bread and half&half instead of heavy cream.
- They came out great.
- You have to cook them at a low heat because of all the honey or they will burn quickly.
- Definitely a keeper in my book.
- Our two grandsons are huge Batman fans so I used a bat-shaped cookie cutter instead of a star and they loved it!
- For bread, this time I used a Bread Machine Bread from this site, it had just come out of the bread maker and worked out wonderfully for this recipe.
- I don't know or if it's the difference in using heavy cream in place of milk as in traditional recipes, or the addition of honey, it just was a terrific recipe-unlike any I had ever had before.
