SUNDAE FRUIT DRENCHED FRENCH TOAST

Category: French Toast

12 slices of Italian bread, sliced 1 inch thick
8 eggs
1-1/2 cups milk
1/2 heavy cream
1 Tbsp vanilla
Dash of fresh ground nutmeg
1 cup crushed corn flakes
Assortment of fresh fruits - strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, bananas, peaches, if in season.
Preheat griddle to 375 degrees.

In a large metal bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and heavy cream until well combined -- about 3 to 4 minutes. This allows the heavy cream to almost "whip inch for a light batter. Add the vanilla. Pour through a strainer to remove egg excess. Add nutmeg to strained egg mixture.

Dip bread into mixture but do not oversoak, then dip one side of bread into the corn flakes. Repeat with all 12 slices.

Prepared french toast can sit until guests are ready to eat. Grease griddle and cook french toast with the corn flake side down first. Flip after golden brown and finish cooking.

Place two slices on plate and top with fruit slices and Vermont maple syrup. Dust with Confectioners sugar just before serving.
