SEVEN DAYS OF RECIPES; DAY ONE: French Toast Skewers

Hi Everyone.

Happy Sunday.

I love entertaining big groups of people but as you already know I do not have the luxury to do that....I can't have the big three course dinners I dream of , you know, where we all sit around a big wooden table, bottles of wine being passed around, everyone laughing and just having a good time...yy--eah! that never happens. 

What happens is that everyone just stands, sits on the four dinning chairs I have-sometimes we don't even pull all the chairs, since there is no space-,or we take turns sitting on the couch. This is why I have resulted to easy finger foods. This has been so great so far, there are always small groups talking about different things, then sometimes everyone's stories seem to intertwine and before you know it the whole room is talking about the same thing before everyone is destructed and back to the small groups. At this point everyone has subconsciously joined the "musical chairs" , now some people that were standing are now sitting.....I could go on about this for days....

Anyway, I have been meaning to host a finger food inspired breakfast, hence the French Toast Skewers recipe. This was so easy and so inexpensive- which if you love cooking for big groups, it's always a plus if your ingredients are inexpensive-. 

YOU NEED:

-Bread- as many slices are you want

-Eggs

-Milk

-1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder

-Any kind of fruit preserves -I used strawberry preserves

-Strawberries or any fresh fruits you have

-Butter

WHAT TO DO:

1. In a medium to large bowl, whisk the milk,eggs and cinnamon until everything is mixed well and there are no cinnamon lumps. Set aside for now.

2. Take two sliced of bread and on one apply the preserves and sandwich together like you would a pb&j. Set aside. Unless you like soggy French toast, don't soak in egg mixture until you're ready to cook

3.In a medium size pan, heat 1 tablespoon of butter on medium high heat. Soak both sides bread in egg mixture and place gently in the pan...cook each side until it's golden brown, remove and drain extra oil on a paper towel.

4.For easy finger food, cut bread into 1 inch cubes and skewer with your choice of fresh fruits. 

Happy toasting. Thank you for reading.

Sincerely

K.
