Love French Toasts

Posted on May 20, 2014 by

A few months ago, to celebrate our 1 year anniversary I prepared this heart shaped french toasts for my boyfriend.

At the time I did not plan on posting this recipe on expatcucina. However, when I was done I found them to be so cute and such a sweet idea for a romantic breakfast or alsofor  a fun weekend brunch with your kids.

All you need are heart-shaped cookie cutters of different sizes, colorful spinkles and then all the standard ingredients for making french toasts!

Ingredients (serves 2):

  • 6 slices of bread
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup whole fat milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • syrup
  • chocolate and colorful sprinkles
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar

Start off by cutting off your bread into hearts
