Red, White And DA-Licious!

IMG_2490

Matt baked a test batch of our July Red, White and Blue Swirl bread yesterday and brought me home a tiny loaf. With raspberries, blueberries and cream cheese, this was INCREDIBLE!! Best bread we’ve debuted in months!!

IMG_2491

So I turned in into the most delicious french toast! Soaked in 1 egg and a splash of milk for 30 seconds per side and seared in a nice hot pan

IMG_2502

Then topped with almond butter, berries and coconut

IMG_2497

And served with an Earl Grey tea-ccino with milk frothed in my IKEA frother. I absolutely love Earl Grey – why I don’t I just buy a box!?

IMG_2503

Can’t wait to make this again!

    Gotta love GH for having so many tasty sweet and savory varieties and for being so multi-purpose! It works great for toasted sandwiches and french toast, so many store bought breads just turn to mush. We sampled the blueberry cream cheese last week and can’t wait for the red, white and blue which I know I used for french toast last year. It’s hard to believe it’s almost July!

    That bread looks amazing! Filled with my favourite berries. I’m gonna have to make a trip down south sometime to visit a Great Harvest. For some reason I always think French toast is really time consuming so I never make it–unless it’s for a special occasion. Oh and Earl Grey is my fave type of tea. When I was younger I absolutely could not stand it and now I can’t imagine living without the five different varieties I currently have on rotation: decaf EG, vanilla EG, green tea EG, dark chocolate EG and regular. It’s like an addiction!

    Kath, I recently picked up an Ikea frother and used it this morning for the first time. How much milk do you froth at a time? I used ~1/4c skim milk, and it didn’t get very frothy. I’m also wondering if the lack of fat contributed to its lack of frothiness… hmm.

    Reply
    • KathEats says

      June 19, 2012 at 12:18 pm

      About 1/4 a cup – but you do want some fat!! I use 2% milk, so mine froths nicely. I know places like Starbucks can get skim to froth, but I haven’t had much luck
