French Toast.. in France!

French toast is really an American breakfast treat- here in France it's more for dessert.  Frenchman accepts my American-ness and so I made this for breakfast.  Yum.

Cost per Serving: €2.00 each(ish)

Ingredients

• 5 slices 'pain au miel', which are small slices.. be warned.
• 1 cup frozen raspberries (available at Picard)
• 1 egg
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 tablespoons sugar for mix, 1/2 cup for raspberries
• 2 tablespoons 'creme légère'
• sprinkling of 'sucre en poudre'
• dash of salt (weird, but it works)

Instructions

1. Begin by mixing the egg with milk, vanilla, 2 tablespoons sugar and the dash of salt.  Whisk with a fork or whisk until mixed.
2. Heat up on medium sized frying pan and another smaller sized sauce pan to medium heat.
3. Drop the frozen raspberries, a small amount (1/3 cup) water and the sugar into a shallow pan. Stir over medium heat.
4. While the raspberries are becoming saucy (you tell them who's boss!) Dip the bread slices, both sides, and cook two at a time.  Place aside, covered.
5. Continue to cook/stir the raspberries (about 5-8 minutes) over the heat until it resembles a syrup.
6. Finish all the slices, serve the raspberries with a tablespoon of the crême served over the slices.
7. Sprinkle the powdered sugar.

Delish!
