Lemon Ricotta French Toast

Ingredients:

  • Bread of choice (We use Challah– 1” thick slice)
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 tsp. Vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
  • 2 TBL sugar
  • Lemon Curd
  • Ricotta Cheese
  • Fresh Berries
  • Powdered sugar
  • Lemon (for zesting)
  • Maple Syrup

Directions:

  1. Pre-heat skillet on medium heat. In a bowl combine eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, sugar.  Beat mixture until well combined.
  2. Dip bread generously until soaked through but not soggy. Add mixture to buttered pan and cook until golden brown, flip bread and cook on the other side until golden.
