Honey Bunches French Toast & Strawberry Bellini :: Valentines Day Breakfast

February 9, 2014 by Angela LeMoine 4 Comments

honey bunches french toast

 

Valentines Day is less then a week away and I am super excited to share with you a whole bunch of love inspired dishes this week. Some people have this hate for Valentines Day because they see it as a “Hallmark” holiday. While yes, it would be lovely to treat your partner all lovey dovey everyday but it doesn’t happen. Valentines Day doesn’t need to mean just chocolate & roses… just do or say something extra sweet that day, enjoy each others company and cook a fabulous meal!

I’m starting off with breakfast and some booze! I’m going to just say it, this is the best french toast i’ve ever made! Honey Bunches French Toast combines a couple of my favorite things, challah bread and Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds cereal. I don’t often eat cereal but when I do, this one is at the top of my list!  The cereal coated french toast adds so much flavor and crunch to the already amazing deliciousness of challah bread! Top with some fresh strawberries and warm maple syrup and you’ve got yourself a winning breakfast that will start your day with nothing but loving feelings!

Oh, can’t forget… make it better with some Strawberry Bellinis!!! Beautiful slightly sweetened strawberry puree and some bubbly champagne! {see below for pics & recipe}

Honey Bunches French Toast & Strawberry Bellini :: Valentines Day Breakfast

Honey Bunches French Toast & Strawberry Bellini :: Valentines Day Breakfast

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf challah bread, sliced into 1" thick slices
  • 3/4 cup low fat milk
  • 1/2 cup light cream
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2- 2 1/2 cups Honey Bunches of Oats cereal
  • butter

Instructions

  1. Place the cereal in a zip up bag and roll over it several times with a rolling pin to break down the pieces a bit, it will stick better to the bread. Pour out into a dish
  2. In a bowl whisk together the milk, cream, eggs and vanilla.
  3. Heat a large pan over medium low heat.
  4. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture then press each side into the crushed cereal until well coated.
  5. Add a tab of butter to the pan and a few slices of the french toast. Brown to a light golden brown on each side. You can place the finished sliced on a parchment lined baking sheet and keep warm in a 250 degree oven while you cook the rest.
  6. Serve along with some fresh berries and warm maple syrup.
