2003-01-09 - 4:26 p.m. comfort food: french toast When we're sick, we each crave different foods (see my food survey for some examples.) Typically, I crave Indian food. Presumably, I like the kick to my system that comes courtesy of the spicy curry. Today though, it's a different story. I'm craving...french toast. My own personal favorite french toast, which requires one ingredient I don't have on hand: gruyere. Oh well. If I can't eat it myself, I might as well share my recipe here, for single-serving french toast: Superior French Toast 2 slices thick white bread 2 eggs 2 TBSP half and half 1 TBSP grand marnier 2 slices gruyere strawberry jam butter In a wide bowl, whisk together the eggs, half and half, and grand marnier (NOTE: yes, You can substitue orange juice but you're better off omitting entirely.) Melt butter (1-2 tsp) over medium heat in a pan large enough for both slices of bread. Lay each slice of bread in the bowl, coating each side with the egg mixture. Place bread in the pan. When first side is lightly browned (1-2 minutes), turn over. Place gruyere slices on the top of the bread and cook until done (another 1-2 minutes). Serve with a few spoonfulls of strawberry jam on top. Now, doesn't that sound yummy? any comments?
