French toast with fresh Jersey blueberries and peaches. Recipe by Eileen Goldfinger, Food Editor @ Blogfinger.net. Paul Goldfinger photo. Click to enlarge.
The fresh blueberries and peaches are wonderful now—very sweet. (referring to mid to late June) Eileen got hers at Wegmans. In May blueberries are nice but no peaches yet. You can substitute fruits.
The French toast recipe is easy and delicious. You must use challah (braided Jewish egg bread) which you can always get at Wegmans. If you buy one, it will last for a week in your fridge, or you can freeze it.
Use a large shallow bowl and break some eggs into it. (For two people, use four large eggs.) With a fork or a whisk, beat the eggs until the yolks and whites are combined.
Add two teaspoons of real vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, and stir into the eggs.
Cut three 1 1/2 inch slices from the center of the bread and place them in the egg mixture.
Allow the bread slices to soak up the egg mixture on both sides.
Add a tbsp. of vegetable oil to a 12 inch non-stick fry pan and spread the oil over the bottom of the pan. Heat until the oil begins to sizzle.
Place the bread slices into the heated pan and cook both sides until brown. (approx. 3 minutes per side)
Serve the French toast with fresh fruits and real maple syrup.
