This recipe came about due to a crappy, horrible, horribly crappy crap white bread who's primary utility is for making crap sandwiches. Some may say "I got what I paid for" in the 99 cent loaf, but hey! That's almost four whole quarters. I could've slotted the coins into a temporary Spongebob tattoo machine and been more satisfied.
Especially if I got Patrick.
So, in order to get some miserly satisfaction from the bread, I whipped up some french toast. But not just any toast-- I had to go at it with a vengeance. The combination of the creamy cheese, sweet honey, and touch of vanilla made the budget loaf taste more like a million bucks.
PS- Happy Friday the 13th! I'll pick up a face down penny for you.
Honey Vanilla Cream French Toast Serves: 1
2 slices sandwich bread
1 T. whipped cream cheese
1/2 t. honey
1/2 t. vanilla extract
1 egg
1 T. milk
Maple syrup
1.) Stir the cream cheese, honey, and vanilla extract together in a small bowl. Spread on one slice of the sandwich bread and top with the remaining slice.
2.) Whisk the egg and milk together in a pie pan (or similar object with sides). Dunk the bread in the mixture on both sides for 30 seconds each.
3.) Heat a small skillet over medium-high heat. Spray with non-stick cooking spray and add the sandwich. Cook until golden brown, then flip and repeat for the other side. Slice in half and serve with maple syrup, if desired.
I have a loaf of that same bread now. French toast is about all its good for :) This french toast sounds amazing, way to dress up that crap bread :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, that looks so delicious!! I love the whipped cream cheese, I bet that is awesome. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great recipe! I just found your blog and I love it; I started my recipe blog while in college too and can relate to a lot of the posts on your site. I definitely have fallen prey to the "Bargain Basket" bread. I have found that the $2 loaf is the safest "cheap" bread haha.
ReplyDeleteWow! Awesome! I love how you turned the cheap crap horrible crappy crap bread into deliciousness!
ReplyDeleteI guess being Asian I didn't really grow up on bread, but I should definitely change that!
bravo girl... turn drab into fab
ReplyDeleteI call that bread 'little kid bread' but my husband adores it, this is a great way to use it up.
