This morning’s breakfast was Oola-la French Toast. Unlike with the previous 2 recipes, I had no idea which character the recipe was named after. I had to look it up. Apparently, Oola was a dancer and a slave to Jabba the Hutt.
French toast is a favorite in our house, so the kids were really looking forward to this one. As usual, we gathered up our ingredients:
Peter and Jacob whisked together the egg, cinnamon, sugar, vanilla extract and milk while I cut up the bread.
After we soaked the first 3 pieces of bread in the egg mixture, we put them in the hot pan with some butter. It started to smell really yummy in our kitchen!
We cooked these on both sides, then put them in a warm oven on a baking sheet while we cooked the remaining 3 pieces. We plated the french toast and sprinkled it with confectioner’s sugar before serving with maple syrup.
The children were happy.
Skill level: Super easy!
Outcome: The french toast was delicious and both boys cleaned their plates. As always, we used the exact ingredients in the exact measurements called for in the recipe. However, when following the recipe instructions to the letter, we found that our first 3 slices of bread ended up soaking in the egg mixture a bit too long while the butter melted in the skillet. As a result, they were really soggy and hard to get into the pan without them falling apart AND there was not really enough egg mixture left to adequately soak the remaining 3 slices of bread. When we make this again, we will remember to heat the skillet before soaking the bread and will probably double the ingredients in the egg mixture to make sure we have enough. This one has been our favorite recipe so far.
