I know, yet another Nigella sampling.... Pretty soon she may earn her own category 'Tried Nigella'. For now, this one gets a shout out and falls in 'Breakfast'. Okay, first let me say YUM-this breakfast was super good. Certainly worth consiering for your week end breakfast.
One of the reasons that it was delicious, I used the leftover dinner bread recipe loaf. However, any delicious bread will do.
I plan to give an overview but also here is the link to Nigella's You Tube video or the written version here.
The recipe requires your usual bread, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, butter ...you know french toast. Soak the bread in the egg and spice mix longer than perhaps normal-again good bread is important here. A cheap bread slice may fall to bits and the soaking is important.
The topping, is lemon, fresh strawberry and powdered sugar in a blender. Smooth and sweet it is great with the french toast instead of syrup.
The daughter described Donut French Toast as, "Nothing, I am grumpy." Well, and truth be she stuffed her face with Donut French Toast and asked for more.
